This project has given so many people jobs and missions this winter! Nana bakes cookies each day. Popper delivers cookies and helps with project. Steve turns down paid work to come here daily to do fun work...and eat Nana's cookies. The Fan club has to go out frequently to build guns for the...

I arrived in the shop tonight to find the airplane builder with #3 strapped to his back in our retro hand-me-down Gerry Carrier! :-)

Really enjoying this build! We are meeting new friends and learning new things about old friends...like how skilled they are with a milling machine!! We will keep the pictures and fun stories coming. My job thus far is providing encouragement and sustenance. ;-) maybe I will get to do more if...

Life is good! Every few weeks, FBF manages to get more of my junk OUT of his shop and more new tools INTO his shop! That is a good thing. Everyday he manages to find a reason to use the milling machine. Cannot wait to see what fun ensues when the new airplane build starts. Never a dull moment...

Here is our awesome flagpole!

Ok...we will do this one at a time! That was their departure to the airs how. This is them taking off from the grass strip.

Hello, all! I am going to upload some new photos if I can. Internet is not on my side tonight!

We have moved to the farm, and are steadily working our way through the boxes and getting settled. The hanger is currently getting some pallet racks installed...so thankful for that extra temp storage option. Photo will take a while, since we are still operating off iPad and iPhone until...

Ompha: Thanks for stove ideas. And, no, the pink door is still there. He got the airstrip seeded, but has not really spent a ton of time in the hangar other than to get the floor finished and cleaned and then get the heat and stuff taken care of. Covering the pink door can be done in the...

Well, Ladies and Gentlemen, apparently retiring, harvesting, working on hangar and house projects, and preparing to move to aforementioned house must take up all of my husband's previous GJ time! :-) There is now air, heat, gas, and plumbing in the hangar. But the most important improvement of...

Wow...that is one SHINY floor! :-) Good job...

He also took a quick break to witness the kids ******** riding on the donkeys...and one break to take me out to eat for my birthday. That was quite a schedule sandwiched in between 5 hour drives between KY and OH! He is my hero. :-)

Wingnut, there were probably only 6 pics, because he was filthy dirty and working non-stop for 6 entire days!! I was a sewer/septic widow for the week, but it was worth it for the cost-savings and the chance to have him work hard and get his hands dirty. I was very proud of his accomplishments...

Ok...I had better get the car packed now and get up there to the farm...and stop posting in FBF's name. But I do believe he would have a similar response to being mistaken for USAF. :-) Or an older vet. Now he does have some gray hairs...but those were mainly brought on by his growing Fan...

Gentlemen, this was a serious labor of love!! He was out there well before the crack of dawn, and then well into the night after boys were in bed. I never had any doubts, but I sure am glad that it is (almost) over! I know his heart will not be into the home renovations until this shop is...
