- Add a new 20 amp electrical circuit to isolate the air compressor from the rest of the lights and outlets in the garage - no more dimming lights when the compressor kicks on!
- Added 3 new outlets on the new electrical circuit, and extended 3 more outlets from an existing circuit, all paced strategically above the workbenches.
- Rewired an incorrectly wired three way switch to make it work like a true three way switch ( was actually a 2-way,three-way switch.....too hard to explain!)
- Built 2 seven-foot long work benches
- Added a large utility storage shelf unit - 2ft x 4ft x 6ft tall.
- Put up peg board sections above work benches
- Hung 2 new shop lights above each work bench
- Removed all traces of old aluminum wiring from the garage. There were 2 very long runs of very large aluminum wiring very high in the rafters that had to be removed and replaced with copper wiring.
- Rewired and reposition a phone line.
This site was created to provide friends and family with a vehicle to track my efforts to build a Van's RV 8 Aircraft kit. The dream began in the Summer of 2008. The actual building began in 2009, with the arrival of the empennage or tail kit. I will periodically update the site with photos and comments about my progress.
