I built 70% of the plane in an old, non-insulated metal shop at my last home. Hot in the summer and chilly in the winter! It is great to be able to walk out the back door and get to work within a few minutes!

I finished the plane at my current home which has an insulated roof and a much taller overhead. Again, it's a short walk to the airplane but still can get very warm or cold during extreme weather. I do have a couple of window ac units and some floor fans to take the edge off the heat.

Can't stress enough the importance of making it as easy as possible to get the job done!
I was lucky. I've seen some fantastic airplanes built in one-car garages, living rooms and sheds!
