I know this is a day late, but I think what this thread needs is more Banana costume.

Cmon, who has the pictures.

shut it! I've been working on the damn band perry bus.....

and yup. I did a lot of the work in the bedroom and bunk section. also, the ceiling panel with lights down the center. What you don't see in the video are all of the little star tacks I had to drill a pilot hole for then knock in with a hammer. I wanna say there's one every two inches down each side. the front panel is about 14ft long so yeah...took a little while. Even made sure all the stars pointed the same direction. You don't really get to see the treadmill in the back bathroom with the shower or the "fireplace" under the TV in the front lounge. I thought they were joking about the fireplace for a week or so until it showed up at the shop. there's a lot of geoform plywood in there, note the closet she walks by that curves inward. that stuff is a f*** to cut a door in and get square.

You're serious about building it? That's pretty damn cool.

Yep, Mr1der was even on TV a few times when the Travel Channel (?) did a feature story about the building of their tour RV's. One scene showed him testing some of the furniture with his butt. Actually it looked like a ton of work went into building those RV's.

Yup

I've been there for nearly 8 years, started out just cleaning the floor as I was unemployed and needed a job. Despite how I act, they decided I'm not a total moron and entrusted me to use rather large Powermatic table saws and 1hp production routers. I've only gotten my shirt caught in a router once!

I think that ep of Extreme RV's is actually on youtube...lemme check.

We're not suppose to divulge much information about the stars so no, I did not in fact see her underwear while she was in them.

I can't seem to find it now.

here's the shop's site though

http://hemphillbrothers.com/index.html

I'd guess you can say we've probably had the biggest client on the planet.
