I worked the first 4 years on my project in a garage that you could not park
our minivan in, built in the 40's it was very tiny, 6 1/2 ft ceiling, just
long enough I that I could get the cowling on (no spinner or rudder). I had
a storage unit that I would store the parts that I was not working on at the
time, it was close and I could get things back and forth without much
problem. I could not afford a hangar, and I still can't afford a hangar,
which is why I bought a folding wing Kitfox. Otherwise I would be building
a Murphy Moose. I had to get very creative. My garage opened up into the
alley, but it was on a very steep sloping driveway so, I could do very
little outside of my garage. Plus, once it snowed, the garage door froze
shut and was blocked for 3-4 months with snow. Once I drilled and rigged
the wings they came off and went into storage. They are still in storage
 (
As for the looky-loos, I had plenty. Everyone in a 10 block area new I was
building an airplane. Usually it was the 12-14 yr olds who stopped by and
wanted to know what all the tools were. Cleco's were the most fascinating
to them for some reason. Every new kid got a cleco, after that they never
asked for anything again.
