The #collapsible #paintbooth construction has begun. This is going to be interesting to see how #God guides me through this process. . I still have to make another one of these at the same dimensions (48”x55”). . I’m #grateful for having friends at @evokeaviation because of this. Jonathan has been instrumental with his #advice on what I’ll need for great results when it comes to #priming my #vansaircraftrv10. . . . . #vansaircraft #vansairforce #airplanes #experimentalairplane #experimentalaviation #avgeek #rv10 #rv10build #rv10buildprep (at Abilene, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqGlrkVO5Wq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I have to imagine that this is what @evokeaviation somewhat goes through when they get ready to #paint #airplanes. . All #walls have been #masked off and we’re ready for primer on the top half. .

After about 4 coats of Cut #Ruby, the #red is finally showing even saturation on all 4 #walls! . Tomorrow brings taping #lines for the top half in preparation for the lighter #shade I’m using on top. This is going to look #amazing! . And, yes… I’ll cover the red with plastic to the floor to protect from drips.. . . . . #building #build #buildaworkshop #buildinganairplane #rv10 #rv10build #rv10buildprep #vansaircraft #vansairforce #construction #constructionlife #paint #painter #interior #interiordecor #avgeek #studentpilot #eaa #aopa (at Abilene, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpG71DNOP7D/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

MAJOR #accomplishment on the #AirplaneFactory v1.0 #progress… . . Self-leveling floor has been poured; leaving only electrical connections to power and prime/paint left to do! .

#Digging was a lot faster and way easier the first time this #electrical #conduit went in. But, that was the time I rented a mini-excavator, too. . I figured this time around would be maybe a little faster than I expected doing this by hand to install larger diameter conduit. But, noooo! . Even with the softer soil this is still back breaking work! I’ll be so happy when I get this done and finally have lights inside the #AirplaneFactory v1.0! . Potentially pouring the self-leveling floor tomorrow! 🤩 . . . . #vansairforce #vansaircraft #vansaircraftrv10 #avgeek #construction #constructionlife #buildingaworkshop #buildingashed #buildinganairplane #rv10 #rv10buildprep #rv10build (at Abilene, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cok-2QYvJ26/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Stocking up for the final push to project completion! I just need 6 more of these and I can install the flooring. . #PoundingRivets starts soon! . . . . #RV10Build #rv10buildprep #constructionlife #construction #building #buildingaworkshop #avgeek #vansaircraft #vansairforce #checkyoursix #studentpilot (at Abilene, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoOLaRvLs4Z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My forearms felt like Popeye’s bicep last night after pounding in the 8 foot grounding rod into the dirt. I feel fortunate that the vast majority of my hammer blows were accurate and I didn’t cause any major damage to the #drywall that I couldn’t #repair. . Now that the larger diameter #conduit is installed it’s time to close up the section I cut out in the #AirplaneFactory v1.0! With what I’ve learned from my friend Gary, nobody will ever be able to tell it was cut out. . Notice how I used some 1” #wood #scraps to support the cut drywall pieces (another Gary tip). . . . . #BackToWork #construction #constructionlife #vansairforce #RV10BuildPrep #RV10Build #VansAircraft #Workshop #WorkshopBuild #EAA #AOPA #ReadyForPaint (at Abilene, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnxgRhavq-a/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

How to tell an #aviation enthusiast lives here? It’s simple! . With the #windsock installed, the signaling of the #exterior completion is here! . I’ve been waiting since #OSH20 to get to this point (that’s when I bought the windsock). . Next, finish taping the drywall and connect the workshop to power! . Almost everything left to do is inside now. Which means, I can do a little more after work each night just by flipping a light switch to see. . . By the way, it’s not windy. The sock is just stiff. . . . #vansairforce #avgeek #rv10 #rv10build #rv10buildprep #vansaircraft #construction #constructionlife #pilot #airplanesarecool #finished #project #building (at Abilene, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnIgaTaL6FF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A little drizzle ☔️today didn’t keep me from getting something done. . Seeing the exposed corner (on the right) was starting to bother me. Nothing a couple of 1x6’s can’t hide! Yes, it’s all treated #lumber that’s being used for the #trim #work. . I’m attempting to get as much done as possible. The road is calling me out again. The song may say #LifeIsAHighway but I need a mix of sky time in there, too. . That’s why I’m #building my #RV10build here. . #EAA 471 Christmas party is tonight. So, this is about as far as I’ll get on this for today. .

#Finally! After working late into the night over the past few nights, all the #electrical work is #finished! . Time to kick back? Heck no! . I have some #insulation that’s been just itching (hopefully, I won’t be) to be #installed. . In a weird way, I almost feel like I’m on the same part of this project as @buildflygo is on his #RV10. . Still, I know it won’t be long before I’m pounding #rivets in here on my own @vansaircraftinc #RV10build. . Like @mike_patey says… BACK TO WORK!

#Electrical work is now in full swing on the #AirplaneFactory v1.0! . The breaker in the box is for the dedicated #circuit that will power my air compressor while the #conduit shown in picture 2 is for the light switch. . .

I just now had a chance to open the box with my #rv10 #strobe #light from @aveoengineering and my inner adolescent kicked into Beavis & Butthead mode when I saw the foam cutout. . . . . #rv10build #buildinganairplane #airplanesarecool #airplanesarelife #pilot #phalic #airplaneparts #experimentalaviation #eaa #aopa #vansaircraft #vansairforce #aviation #avgeek #avporn #aircraftequipment #aveo (at Elgin, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjbq6nwLgb1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Although I’m still working on building my workshop, I had a chance to stop by @aveoengineering’s Palm Coast, FL office and pick up my vertical stabilizer strobe #light for my #RV10build. . It’s always a fun time chatting with Damien! He gave me a sneak peek at the upcoming Vegas tips I squeezed out info about at #OSH22. See my “ #Upgrades for the RV-10 - Part 2” video for that interview.
