Looking for local builder

#1 Post by Haysus »

Does anyone know if Bob Triplett is still around? He is the only builder listed in the STL metro area. I have tried several times to make contact via email and PM to no avail.
I need 2 T39's unloaded by next month.

Thanks

As there are no local builders in my area. I am going to build myself.

Unfortunately the big box stores stopped carrying Aruaco. Is the 3 ply Birtch 1/2" acceptable?
