    Design and build storage solutions

    2 local guys want to do it, if we can get a group of 6 - 8 together I'll schedule it to accommodate everyone. What types of storage solutions are you interested in? What time frame might work for you? - Cape Lookout is really nice in the late fall, and very few people go out there that time of year

    Design and build storage solutions

    thanks, but not looking for syllabus advice. I have been a professor for over a decade and now run a private woodworking academy. I want to gauge interest in offering a class to expo members, I'll flesh out the details.

    Anyone ever crossed the border from Costa Rica to Panama by way of Rio Serrano?

    Sorry for the late reply, I am working in the rainforest and internet is not always reliable here. My advice to you is to contact a broker here in Costa Rica, inform them of your plans and pay the fee they ask. The red tape here is a nightmare and you cannot go on the word of people - only...

    Anyone ever crossed the border from Costa Rica to Panama by way of Rio Serrano?

    I would sincerely appreciate it if you can consult your notes, as I will need to renew the tourist permit for the truck. If it cannot be renewed there, perhaps I can travel into Panama through that route and come back up through Canoas. I am working in the southern highlands of Costa Rica and...
