Post 24 - A Turning Point

Ok, I'm at my next turning point on the glasair project. The current hangar I'm in is just too busy with income projects. We've been getting along great, but the income jobs are important to the owner so I have to find a new place to build and finish (divide and conquer). Next, I will either:1. move to my house shop, 2. move to another hangar at Arlington, or 3. Find a place at Paine Field. I need a new plan to finish the plane. I won't be able to put the wings on at my house, but its alot closer than Arlington. I need a place at Paine Field soon, than I can put the wings on when ready
 (aw below=after wing)

I could use good idea's but my home is likely where to move for a short while.

This shows about 36 hrs of time of things to do after the wing, 171 hours total, very roughly:
