<p style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-align: left;">Bob and Dale J. Pfafflin, the love of his
life, were united in marriage on December 18, 1971, at the First United

boating, gardening, hunting, fishing, and especially time with family.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-align: left;">Survivors include his wife of 52 years,

Dana Johnston, Burlington, and Emily Alberda, Charleston, WV; nieces and
nephews; great-nieces and great-nephews; and a large circle of family
and friends who will miss him.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-align: left;">He was preceded in death by his parents,
grandparents, mother-in-law Carol Hippe, brother-in-law Mark Pfafflin,
and father-in-law Donald Pfafflin.</p>

This allows the aroma of wood to relax the bather more.</p><p style="text-align: left;">The owner of this tub opted for a leak proof tub wall and bottom. For this we decided to use Waet fiberglass and resins system. The fiberglass is a 6oz cloth and the resins are by West Resins and Epoxy systems. From beginner to expert, the product is easy to use until one gets to the final coats. It is recommended that wood tub walls be primed with epoxy resin two times so that the cloth and subsequent layers have better bonding to each other. It is suggested that the final topcoat be a clear finish such as a varnish or another clear coat.<br /><br />Part 2 will explain the finishing steps. Stay tuned....<br /><br />Price on this tub is $1850.00 <span style="font-size: large;">*</span><br /><b></b></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>*</b></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"> Price does not include 6 coats of varnish, West Epoxy System or freight.</span><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b> </b><br /></h3>Jim Wilkinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11179099188696356097noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18646794567430033.post-233803943043450322013-08-28T09:27:00.001-07:002013-08-28T09:27:13.458-07:00Projects<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
