Start throwing in unforeseen repairs, and time and money keeps going on up. Then add in kids and women to the mix - um, well, yeah! eek

My outlook with my project is that it is an asset and I keep an eye on the end value of it. But it is very cool to have my own airplane sitting in my garage, I mean hangar!



Oh my... truer words have never been spoken!!!!!

Yup... fixer-uppers.... even those that are in reasonably good shape seem to take forever and even more money to get to where ya want 'em to be.

Yeppers.

Our birds may be anywhere from 22 to 50 years old, but by golly, they're perpetual three-year-olds when it comes to the attention they need (and deserve!)

But, it's worth it. At least to me. grin
