If you could only move the computer stuff OUT of your workshop , you would probably also save YEARS in terms of total construction time .

Hi John,

What's particularly frustrating, is that I have five acres (the assembly site) available in central Florida, the problem has been in getting there with any regularity. Then when there, I have to stop and fix everything that broke since my last visit. This puny space in the city had to be "sweet talked" away from becoming a storage closet.

I nearly decapitated one of the monitors with Ulpilot's tube of AP 121 tubing, which drove home your point. I must dedicate this space to the smallest components of the project, or wait until full retirement to even hope to begin, which my conscience is simply not allowing me to put off until then.

Like most others, this project will be a study in dogged determination against seemingly insurmountable obstacles. I can't begin to describe how helpful your own and others advice and support is proving to be.
