    I remember the first time I took my wife up in the kitfox. I told her I was going to just take her on a taxi run. Yup, right out to the runway and took off. She did like it.

    Josh, my wife would ask how much something on the plane costs and I would reply "You don't want to know." She would reply " You are probably right". I kept every receipt related to the plane construction but have been afraid to add it up for fear she would come across it.

    I've got one shop downstairs ,..it's 24x24,..that is where my welding and sheet metal fabrication equipment is, with a 26x28 back room for storage,..I am going to build another shop away from the house either 30x30 or 30x36 ,..not sure yet,..just had the well drilled for it today,..took them 5 hours to go 235 feet and I am getting 35 gallons a minute,..so I should have plenty of water for the shop ,..I'm going to use the radiant heat system that gets barried under the concrete so needed the well for that mainly,.. I plan on putting a shower and toilet in the shop also,..maybe a loft apartment/office ,.. basically a "Man Cave"
