The New Hangar Project

Getting ready to return to restoring aircraft!

We deliver our new compressor that will allow us to do all of that great sanding and painting on the AT-11!

The Interior Finishing Phase!

After the exterior construction was complete we began the installation of the interior features such as heat, lights and a bathroom and meeting room.

The final step is the installation of the remaining 52 feet of Mezzanine. We quickly ran out of space to store all of our projects parts and it became necessary to finish off this level sooner than we planned. You'll notice there is a lot of standing around to discuss our next move!

The first picture is of the installed hangar lights and the propane fueled radiant heaters. 150,000 Btu's of wonderful heat.

Here are a few pictures of the construction of the walls on the meeting room. The bathroom is at the end and is coming along nicely. As you can see the installation is installed and some of the sheetrock has already been installed.

And This is the interior of the Meeting Room as it nears completion.

Here is Master Carpenter and Mason Col. Reid Langerman continuing the installation of our fake brick on our memorial 12 O'clock High fireplace. His advise. Stay away from Z-brick!
