It’s been nearly 5 months since my last post, so here’s a recap:
I moved the project to a hangar at Newark (KVTA) in September. As it started getting cold, I didn’t get much work in on the project. I spent the month of October laid up sick. We had a new baby in October. I spent nearly every minute of November and December at work finishing up the year and making up for lost time. All in all, I think I got in about 2 hours of work on the plane in the four-and-a-half months it was at the hangar.
Since apparently that wasn’t enough to convince me to bring the project back to the house, my good friend and fellow RV-builder Rick Blaes offered his assistance and encouraged me to get a moving date on the calendar. Together, we piled everything into his truck and after two trips – and one stop at Route 62 BBQ – we had everything back into the garage.
This afternoon, Ashley and I arranged the garage into a workshop of sorts. We also finally got around to breaking down the crate that the kit had come in. She was a big help.
The next step is to insulate the outside wall of the garage and the door itself. That will go a long way towards helping me to work there during the cold months. I should be back to building very soon!
