yay all finished ![http://www.micahweber.com/box/0618091943.jpg](http://www.micahweber.com/box/0618091943.jpg) my driveway is OK to skate it, but, i have to find a better place to use it and also transport it… might screw on some wheels to the side of it and hopefully find somethin close to my house ---
