I haven't seen this one before. Super work all around. I can see why you have to operate it outdoors! I like the all metal construction. I reminds me somewhat of the modern tower cranes. I assume it will rotate and have operating drums and all, huh? Great piece of machinery. Dan

Wolfgang,

Nice. In one of your first pictures, what are you using for tires and wheels? They look very good.

Really nice job. I didn't see any but I suspect you are going to have outriggers so it will not topple over in high winds. Can't wait to see it finished.

**** all,

the chassis of the sitting room is nearly finished.

A simple suspension gives a little comfort by racing over the highway, lol







pipe for the heating:



the roof is made in corrugated iron
