    I have to thank my wife. Even with how much crap she gives me for flying RC, she is 100% for me having a shop. So much so, while I was at work I asked her to simply dig a line in the last 5 feet that collapsed so I had a line to follow. I came home looking at 3+hrs of digging. Well she had...

    I'll take some pictures tonight of the carnage of trenching. First over the phone quote to put Spray foam in.....$5k! Ouch, I was hoping to be closer to 2-3 since it was only $1600 to have the bldg. company put in normal insulation at build time. But the roof needs foam. Lots of openings...

    Note to anyone..... Spend the money on the tractor trencher not the walk behind. The walker has a wheel base so short if you have to go back over an area you end up with one wheel higher because its on the excavated dirt side so it forces the unit to drive at an angle. And puts your tires into...

    Using a ditch witch when your ground is moist down past 25 inches sucks!!!!! It didn't work real well. I have one area about 5 feet that all fell in because the trencher got so stuck I had to get chains and pull it out with my truck.

    My front yard is for that. I've got at least 1/2 acre there for that and I can go another 1 acre to the side over my neighbors front yards. They won't care as we are in the country....as long as I stay away from homes/cars.

    Brand New PAU........Viper-ST Announced!!!!!!!!

    Nice vids and performance. I'm liking the plane, but the cowl needs a VIPER touch to it on the paint! I think the timing is gonna be perfect for me. You guys wring it out and get it all ready while I finish up my shop. Then I'll be able to put one together

    And can't forget.....my new gravel driveway slopes so its a pain for my gate. I'm working on that this week also....hoping a wheel might help or I may add some more gravel to bring up the level where its closed so the dogs can't get under it.

    I'll be ditch witching tonight for the electric. The guy shows up Wed to install (2nd contractor). Then my building will be signed off and its off to the races to get the remaining electric, insulation, ceiling, walls up so I can start setting up the shop. Oh, and move some dirt around the...

    Well the concrete guy called and is dropping off all the gravel for the driveway/rv parking/inside ship today. He is planning to grade today and concrete tomorrow but it is supposed to rain and his supplier only runs concrete if multiple orders go out on the same day. I'm going turkey hunting...
