Lots of hard work going on out in the shop! Requires regular snacks and drinks to keep it all going. Pressure washing almost done...floor staining should commence tomorrow if all goes well. Even got some seeding done once the guys finished grading the apron area. Looking good...

Briggs: you should not jump out of perfectly good aircraft!! We'd be happy to trade an airplane ride for some good, tough farm work one of these days.

All is well. FBF is just computerless on the farm. We will be back to our internet tomorrow night, and I am sure there will be many stories and photos at that point. The building is just about finished (had some rain that slowed the final work day progress). Looks really great. Even the...

Shopnut (using the wife's iPad, she is putting the boys to sleep), I think the logo looks great, captures the style of your space perfectly. Look forward to seeing the ladder system in action. Now I need a logo too! Shaun

Pouring more cement today. Great craftsmanship and attention to detail from the whole team. The boys tried out the floor yesterday with Popper's new pedal tractor...works well as an indoor play area on rainy days...for now until the big boy toys all get put in there. Orange refrigerator is...

I fully support all of your color choices...in the hangar. I will get a major vote inside the house, though, and I am pretty sure that orange will not survive the election. We will see...

Tinbender, I am going to have to Un-friend you from this thread! :-) And watch out...I may be petite like a flower, but I am tough and have a good arm.

Wow!! Great looking building and concrete!! Love that porch, too. Definitely needs a rocking chair or swing, a footrest/table, a few extra chairs for the fan club, and someone bringing snacks and iced tea by periodically (I guess that would be me, unless Mom delivers from across the road!)...

Just let me know when I need to schedule the interior decorator to stop by. :-) Just kidding...I know that you have that covered all on your own, too! Can't wait to see the latest changes this next weekend. I know that its primary purpose is hangar/workshop, but every time I stand inside it...

Can you save the photo to the iPad and then do it as an attachment (comes out as a thumbnail) to the post? That is what I did above from my PC, since I didn't know anything about posting pics! :-)

Our family had a fun time chasing down a hot air balloon parade as they landed out in the countryside this weekend! It was such a good time, we are going to forget about going to the airport for the launch and make the chase a new annual event! We were like storm chasers, except safer, since...

$8 oatmeal?!?!? You are killing me!! How are we going to afford that full set of Knippers for your birthday if you are not saving any money on this trip?? :-) JK...please have at least one good meal and some fun while you are in a big city. I don't want to hear about every meal at Taco...

Apparently, GJ is good for inspiration AND vocabulary building. I can't even count how many times we used PERSEVERATE in a sentence last night and this morning! What fun. :-) markviii (Chris): I like how you are thinking!! Total color coordination will have to be a long-term plan, though...

I could go with warage...but hubby still contends it is just a shed... :-)

Couchmechanic: One man's warehouse is another man's garage! :-) One's garage tends to be slightly larger when it needs to fit airplanes, tractors, combines, and houseguests.

Shopnut: good ideas! not sure how he will get the coffee maker to operate, though...I may have to run out from the house each day before the sun comes up and press start...or just buy a Keurig!! Luckily I have some time to refine that plan. LOL!!

Have been a little distracted with large piles of work in my inbox this week, but the build appears to be progressing along nicely. There was one little hiccup was with hanging shutters. 2 sides of the hangar will have the lovely Mr. Jack Olsen Green along the bottom (as seen in pics above)...

Race deck? Epoxy? Stained concrete? So many possibilities...

Well, the door got hung, thanks to a small bit of "Chumley Engineering". This is the kind of farm boy engineering where plans are written on paper napkins and it can all be accomplished with random materials and a skidloader. **Note: all plans were actually approved by both building and door...

In town checking out the progress. Looking great!! A little excitement yesterday when the door guys and the builders thought the door was not going to fit. That was resolved and all is well! Going to walk through later and figure out the plumbing layout. This is exciting. Hubby is doing a...
