Hello. I am a low time(92 hrs) pilot tired of renting 172's. With a wife, two kids(6+9 yrs), 20 lbs baggage the 172S is at max gross. They enjoy the traveling and the view. I have A&P from 88-93 military service, which helps not to get so nervous about everything. This is a huge project and will cost almost as much as it cost to build our house. We built the house ourselves and it took about 3 yrs total. I am hoping for about the same on the 10. It is nice to have all this information available if needed. Thanks.

Congratulations! You will greatly benefit from your house building
experience, as well as your A&P. My wife and I built a house in
Fairbanks, circa 1979, then under took the RV-10 project shortly after
my retirement. In fact, just yesterday, reserved a tail number, which
if FAA confirms, will be N10CA. I expect, like the house, the plane
project will never be "finished", it will just reach a licensed and
airworthy stage.
If you haven't already, you might find it worthwhile to convert your
military A&P into a civilian ticket.
Good luck with your project.

With your background building the RV-10 will be a slam-dunk. In areas that you have no skills they can be learned or purchased - since you are "handy" you would probably enjoy the learning.
There is a great depth of talent on this site but we cannot convert your dreaming years into building/flying years. Congratulations on your choice.
Still sporting the mindless smile after 3 years of flying,
