We are going to take the plunge and build. After all your help and doing some research, thinking about building a CLC for my daughter. Just about blew it when she came home and found some of the research I had printed off the internet. Can't believe how active this bulletin board is. I am sure I will be asking many questions. Now trying to decide between a 16 ft or 17 ft for her. She is 5'8" 150lb. What do you guys think? Thanks for then info in advance. Can't wait to order the kit.
