[Charles King]

Hey Jamie, thanks alot man. What an effort.  It has to be one of the easiest construction(...and I use this term lightly) for Homebuilders.  Thanks man. So this is their lastest model? I see their adjustment is at the vertical position. I always like this way of adjusting the springs; yep, the steadicam method is clean cut.
