New Hangar for HighPoint Aviation Airfield

[Kris]

You have always been first class Jim but this is setting up to be Royalty Class. Is a 5 star Hotel next?

[gunny11]

Yeah, I think I need a roller too... Heck, I have everything else.

I've got movement

The building crew got started on placing the posts that will form the corners of the building extensions.





Meantime I was rolling the field making Gunny jealous.

The big hole in the ground got filled today with a 2000 gallon concrete tank.











Then it got covered up.

Photos. Daily photos. Yes, those would be good. We need to see what's happening at our home away from home!

[Jeff D]

Jim, Outstanding!! You keep outdoing yourself every time I check back on the thread. Seems there is a trend developing here - but glad you are enjoying retirement.

[Xroadie]

Amazing work James!!

[hello82]

just when we thought it couldn't get any better!.....did you pull that roller all the way from where the hunting hut is?

[JimD]

I will mark it out before removing the imprint with the roller today! LOL

[lenb]

Wow Jim,
From a wold class site to a ... Universe class site?

Were you able to figure out how large to make my trailer pad or do you need the dimensions?

Thanks for allowing us all to enjoy your dream with you.

Next was to dig hole for new water holding tank.



Old tank will fill first and then overflow into the new tank. Amazing how fast rain fills these tanks!



While this was being done, I filled the 100 gallon roller (35 gallons at a time) from a tank in the back of my truck. Gravity feed system.



We also had both sides of the road cleared to make maintenance easier.

Monday following the recent Spring Soar for Fun, we started a new addition to the hangar. Both ends will have extensions added and an additional 2000 gallon water tank and 3500W solar power system installed to supply 110v AC.

First step was to remove the side walks from both ends.









Underground plumbing fro new men's room.

Guess now we'll have to remove are shoes before we enter!!

3rd step from the bottom 150mm from the left, you missed a spot
Just kidding, great job on the details as always Jim. But I'm sure you will go up and check non the less
Looking forward to seeing it in 2 weeks.
