I'd love to. But it's probably going to be at least a year, perhaps three, before I'm able to *begin* construction on an airplane. Y'see, I have some "home-building" projects queued up ahead of the "homebuilt" project. However, please feel free to explain to my wife why I need an airplane before she gets a garage, or the kids get their own bedrooms. I'll show her the best of them, and post her responses here. I can't help you much with the bedrooms issue, but at some point you are going to have to explain to your wife that the garage (henceforth to be known as the "shop") is for building the airplane, and not for storage of automobiles and/or overflow of household items. You might as well start prepping her for the idea, rather than hitting her with it all at once. My own "shop" is not terribly huge, but it works fine for my purposes since the ground transportation sleeps outside. I don't know where you live, but it works for me here in Anchorage, so quitcher bitchin and start building. Though on second thought, I am reminded of a friend of mine, who grew up sleeping on the couch in his parents' living room since his dad wasn't willing to give up the gun room.... ---------------------------------------------------- Del Rawlins- Remove _kills_spammers_ to reply via email.

Y'see, I have some "home-building" projects queued up ahead of the "homebuilt" project. Corrie, don't do that. You'll never get a plane by planning ahead. There are probably 10,000 pieces of an airplane that you can build while sitting around in the evening looking at TV. That is true. The guy who founded the Bearhawk email list built most of his wing ribs while living in an apartment. Sure it is not ideal, but all he really needed was tin snips, a drill, a circle cutter, and a few other minor items. For whatever it is you want to build, there have to be a lot of similar tasks which can be done at times when you aren't able to work on the other projects. One thing that I did during the time when I was between shops and my tools/parts were in storage, was draw patterns in a CAD program, so that when I was able to start again I could just slap paper to metal with spray adhesive, and start cutting. ---------------------------------------------------- Del Rawlins- Remove _kills_spammers_ to reply via email.

I'd love to. But ... I have some "home-building" projects queued up ahead of the "homebuilt" project. Me too. Floor beams & joists, plumbing, septic, 2 & 1/2 baths, all wiring, new kitchen, 3.5 tons of ceramic tile, roof, dual heating & AC, attic insulation, french doors, brick work.... The plus side of it is that I find a great many new tools and materials are indispensible for plane building. Ooops, I mean homebuilding. "Can't put on new roof without a big air compressor." "Gotta have a big router to duplicate interior trim." "Yes honey, that's a LOT of sandpaper, but it's cheaper that way." "Yes, I need a LONG workbench, it's faster to finish 2 doors at once." "Of course we need a disc/belt sander." "Spraying gives a better finish" "That aluminum? I used it to line up the walls. It's straighter than wood & I'll find another use for it." "The angle grinder? For cutting off nails & rebar." "A random orbit sander is a must to refinsih those cabinets." "My old drill bits were shot." "You need good bolts or we'll end up redoing it in 4 years." "You need a high quality paint mask with this varnish." "You need MEK to clean it before you seal it & 5 gallon pails are much cheaper." The possibilities are endless, but you have to be careful. I'm open to suggestions. Strobe lights to keep kids from falling in the hole for the septic tank might not fly. Daniel |

Dave: Today has been a rare and wonderful one here on RAH. This post of yours and so many others are worthy of the Barnyard Seal of Approval that I hardly know where to begin. g OTOH... Could be I've finally filtered out the worst case lame-o's that cause blood to boil. Barnyard BOb -- stranger than fiction Hey Bob...here's a post for you to filter. Go **** yourself. g BWB |
