Repaving evicts us from our hangar?

Even so, there is no reason this can't be done in stages that would
prevent having to have everyone locked out for 2 months. A smart
contractor would do this in stages anyway so that all of his personell
can be working at the same time - demolition, debris removal, adding the
new gravel and paving. If he does all of the demolition, and then all
of the debris hauling, and then adds all of the gravel, and then does
all of the paving last, that is just very poor construction management
and utilization of equipment and personnel. If they run all of these
concurrently in close sequence, then they should be able to pass each
hangar in a couple weeks or less and allow the other hangars to remain
in use.

You're absolutely correct, and I suggested that to the Director of
Public Works. Currently they're just using two massive phases. The
first phase *is* the two month phase. I suggested that they break it
into 5 or 6 smaller phases, and he basically told me "the phasing is
written into the contract, and what it is is what it is. We're not
changing it at this stage". Subsequent e-mails between him, myself and
the airport manager have seemingly "softened" that stance. As I said,
we'll see...

That's right, only the runway has X's on it.
That's what I used when the runway at the airport where the airplane I
was flying was being reconstructed.
Some people got upset and said it wasn't permitted but couldn't back up
what they were saying with any regulation.

At our airport, they backed it up with parked earth moving equipment.

We've had ramp and taxiway repaving and runway repaving (different
projects)

They told us it might be a month, but they did the taxiways and ramp
in stages. I was out of the hangar for slightly less than a week when
they did one part and only a couple of days when they did the taxiway
right in front of the hangar.

Previous manager got bent out of shape when some pilots landed on one
of the taxiways and reported them. FAA said, "no problem" just try to
do it when he isn't watching." :-)) As we use the grass between the
taxiway and run way on a regular basis with tail draggers, landing on
the taxiway is no problem either...as long as no one is actually using
it as a taxiway at the time.

I'm curious,
Do you still have to pay rent while your not able to use the hanger?
