Hours Today: 7.8 Project Total: 7.8



December 21, 2005:  Picked up Emp/TC kit from ABF.  Unfortunately, it looks like I'll be at work over the Christmas break.  We're scheduled to have a week off, and that's when we planned on putting a good dent in the garage upgrades.  We'll see...
January 11, 2006:  Turns out I did have to work over the Christmas break... and I'm working some O/T on the weekends also.  Combine that with the fact that the garage mods are taking longer than expected, and the result is its a challenge to get hands on the airplane right now.  Van's requires a full inventory of the kit within 30-days (after that we have to pay for anything missing) so I decided to take a break from the garage mods to work on the inventory.  Angela is out of town on business this week so I'm digging through the kit without her.

January 12, 2006:  Finished up the inventory and got all the fasteners sorted out (well, mostly anyway... we need another drawer bin) and put away.  Everything is now put up and out of the way so we can entertain the idea of getting a car in here again.  Just need to break that crate down.

January 13, 2006:  Broke the shipping crate down and cleaned the garage up to make room for the cars.  Unfortunately we've still got quite a few things left to do before the actual construction starts.  I guess we could just start it, but we're deciding against that for 2 reasons:  1) Once we start, we probably won't want to take time away from it in order to finish all those things that have been put off, and 2) If we start then we've got airplane parts that can be easily damaged while things are being moved around during the garage mods.  Besides, we haven't even started on the tables yet (ouch!)  In time... in time...
