I would rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

Alright Snap! The fun is really going to start now. Your boxes arrived in better shape than mine, unless you are hiding the dings. Careful taking the duct tape off things so you don't rip too much of the blue covering off the pieces, it really does help keep the parts in better shape until you have to remove it. I kept a lot of the bigger pieces of wrapping paper, it comes in handy for masking when you get to priming. While I didn't count the rivets, I did weigh the bags with a postal scale, everything else I did count. It helped me learn what the parts were, the real names of some of the hardware, and I did find a piece was missing, nothing big, so I just ordered one (actually 10, it was a washer) in my next order. Don't let anything overwhelm you, just work on one task at a time. I studied that HS drawing for hours making sure I understood every note and dimension, it does become clear after a while.

Good job Snap, I wish I had that kind of shop space. If I had to guess, those yellow things are cleco boots.

You are correct. They are Cleco Boots. I like 'em.
This work shop is big but not, if you know what I mean. I am limited to the very back corner and don't know if I will be able to do my wings etc here.
We are getting a new lager hanger built but I think it wont be finished for awhile yet. So......I need somewhere to build my wings.
