Its great! It was bought with the intent of simply putting it in our big back yard (garden), and used as a BBQ/Party Area.

With the added bouns of killing a load of weeds in the process!laugh

Its not designed to travel the country in; more for a bit of fun..grin dancing

By chance, is that a fleetwood product?

And yes, you did ok on the deal. Hell, you could scrap it out for $300 if worse came to worse.
