Assembled all of the parts and now this section of the project is completed. Winter and cold weather are on the way, so this will be our stopping point until spring. Thanks to Gunny and Len for helping with the drywall and finish carpentry work, it really helped move the project along.

While we made major progress on bathroom, we did not get a door made for the water shut off valve.
Yesterday afternoon, we made a door and got it painted, today we got it installed.
So now, we can say that the room is officially complete!
Since the weather was so mild, we decided that we could paint the picnic tables since we were going up to install the door. Turned out to be a bigger job than I expected...but I did get two of the four tables completely painted.

Just think, soon you'll have that "Extra" model sitting there ready to fly. Just fire it up and have a beautiful afternoon flight.
Are you planning to move the tables inside for the winter?

The late fall has given us a gift of warm temperatures, so we were able to get more done before winter setting in. My building contractor had his crew come back and finish the garage ceiling yesterday. In order to get ready, I painted the header boards the whole way around.
The guys got the whole job done in one day.

It is so nice to go up on the mountain and work on the building with no schedule, no radio, and no noise. I know such solitude is not most people's idea of a good time, but I have been enjoying the experience. It is so neat to see this vision becoming a reality. At the end of each day, I can hardly believe the results of my labor. I come home physically tired yet feeling exhilarated.

Really coming along great Jim! Here's hoping you enjoy many hours / days / years of solitude enjoying the fruits of your labors. It is quite a place.
Oh yea, punctuated by days of being invaded by others sharing the same crazy hobby you do....

Guess I sounded a little like I don't enjoy the company of other people....my work involved meeting and talking with people constantly while trying to hold to a timed schedule. As much as I loved my work, it is nice to just have some quiet time now.
All that said, it would have been fantastic flying in these recent mild weather days. Sure would have been nice to have all of you guys here for a while. 😎
