Not a surprise for anyone who knows my family but here is my Dad's current project: a motor home/camper van. It'll be all mod cons and he's doing everything himself. He's taught himself XHTML/CSS and only had the minimal amount of help (use 34sp, use Filezilla is all I said) everything else is his and he's done jolly well! There are some things I'd change but I'm loathed to make any comment because it would somehow be less 'his'.
You can keep up with the progress at the website below. :)
