I have an opportunity to purchase some land with access to a grass
airstrip - this could be a dream come true.

Does anybody have recommendations for hanger companies to talk to (or
experience using general contractors to build this type of
structure). If there are companies that work with us ordinary
'Experimantal' folks rather than millionaires or corporations for
modest buildings, the information would be really appreciated.

I have a family, demanding day job and Sonex project - so building a
hanger myself would probably be stretching myself way too thin.

Many Thanks

Are there any chicken farms in your area, & are building codes lax or
non-existent for 'outbuildings'?

If the answer to both is 'yes', ask the chicken farmers who builds their
houses.

(Same principal for shelters for other animals.)

Having said that, for a Sonex/RV-x size a/c you can build everything
except the slab yourself in a month or two using 4x4's, 'Z' channel
purlins & metal roofing. A door would probably double the time estimate,
but if you have 3 sides enclosed you're 95% done for sheltering the
plane (unless you're in a really hostile climate, like north of the
Willie Dixon Line).
