Workshop Done !!
After a few months of working in the basement my "airplane factory" is finally finished and online. I hadnt touched the area since we built the house and moved in. Finally the boxes are gone and I have an area to start cutting metal and banging rivets !!

It looks good. I envy you the amount of room. I'm busy trying to clear out two dirtbikes before I get going on the RV-8. I posted here on the RV-8 Section tonight, and then realized I should have posted my query in the general Construction Section. Oh well.
Cheers, Pete

Thanx ...
Ive always dreamed about putting a nice workshop together. Now the RV has given me a reason. I can easily construct the tail and wings down here. What I havent figured out is how to get the fuse taken care of. Maybe Ill have to get a new home before then

Spike,
The shop looks nice. But where's the TV? Everyone laughs at my hangar (some mistakenly call it a 2 and a half car garage) because it has a TV with cable. But my favorite building times are when there is a sporting event in which I am interested going on in the background while I am working on the plane. To be honest, I hardly keep up with the game, but it is nice having it on in the background anyway.
I also have a window AC unit in the hangar. But hey, I live just outside New Orleans. It's a necessity!

No Tv for me ...
No TV for me, if I had one I would never build anything. I opt out for a radio. I like using it as background noise and to keep me from feeling to, uh, alone. Kind of odd I guess. Not that I havent been called an odd ball before.

Come on over anytime!
I built the garage specifically for the plane. I am methodical like that.
That is the recently started emp. It looks like this now:
The outside of the shop looks like this:
I built it all myself from foundation to roof in 2 years!
