I usually stare back blankly and mutter something like, "OMG, I never considered that..." or "duhhhh, you are so smart! How could I have overlooked that part!"

A well placed blank stare of shock followed by a muttered "Oh no ......" generally works out pretty well :evil:

When it comes to the, "What else needs to be done" question, I like to say something like, "All I need to do now is buy the keys! I can't believe that I forgot to order them before now"!

Buy the keys! What a great line, I will have to remember that.

Here what went into the hole. I have to say that I am quite happy with it.

That's some serious natural light!

I don't have any natural light anymore, I filled all my windows with insulation, a/c, and vents. My garage door also has about 3 inches of blue sm foam. I used to like to work with the garage door open (in the summer) for the light and fresh air, but I gave that up for about 7 or 8 dual 4 foot electronic fluorescent lamp fixtures (nice and bright anytime) in order to have better year round temperature/humidity control.

This weekend I worked on the plane in my nice cozy warm shop, sipping coffee, watching it snow. It was quite relaxing... :mrgreen:

Yeah. For the first time in a very very long time I think I am looking forward to more of the white stuff.
