Steve - you're welcome to visit my (very slowly progressing) build in Cheltenham. Contact me direct if you want to take it further.
A year's membership of The Europa Club <http://www.theeuropaclub.org> would be worthwhile to help you make up your mind, too!
in friendship

Steve, stop thinking and start doing. You won’t regret it, once you are close to finished. One thing, don’t get too concerned about how much
Space you have to work in, sure a nice big factory or workshop is great but nothing beats building your baby in a single car garage. Virtually
All of my build has been done in the confines of a single car garage, and at a bit over 4 years I am getting ready to paint my baby.
Regards
Craig (in Australia, which is a bit far for you to come visit, although I have had one UK builder come see me)

Steve
I am the engineering specialist for the Europa Club and work extensively with the Company and the LAA. At present I have a Europa here which is very near completion and about to go to the painters. This is the third I have built in a slightly suitably modified double garage.
You would be very welcome to come over and spend a couple of hours discussing the implications of a build.
We live in Woking, Surrey so not too far from you.
I am available most days. If you would like to visit please e-mail or call 01483 714096 to arrange a time.

Steve,
Building a Europa... its quite a long journey. Unless you are at the stage where spouse actually prefers you out of the house, it definitely helps if you are already divorced....

Steve,
I think you have already made contact with Ian Rickard and may have visited him already. I am sure he has told you all that needs to be told about building the Europa but as a non engineer I would say that it is within anyone's ability to build as I did.
I am based in Petersfield and my aircraft 'DH is based at Popham (one of 5 Europas there and the only trigear). Come over some time to see the plane and talk further about the build.
I will be at Sywell possibly for the whole weekend depending on Europa's requirements.
Regards
Steve Pitt
