It's been a rough weekend for any progress on this building project.

Friday afernoon I arrived home from Chicago and decided to check the fuse sides. Downstairs to the shop and hit the lights and Pow out goes a ballast and smoke everywhere. So two hours with the window fan out the bilco hatch and some spray perfumy stuff to keep the wifey happy and I am back to square 1 but with no lights. Next trip was to Home Depot (in town) and a couple of new fixtures and a pack of spare bulbs and almost done.

Down to work on the firewall and do the layout for the nose gear (Dave Brown) and the motor mount (kraft KM 70) drilled in jig and pushed in all the blind nuts and test fit everything. Got some nice shots and was going to upload yesterday and Pow no LAPTOP.

So now it's off to find a new laptop and finally ended up at Wally World for a new Toshiba (cheap and I tend to kill them traveling for work) and say now I'm all set. Get up and running and find out that my photo transfer software will NOT WORK WITH VISTA.

I'll try to load the pics at work tomorrow.

Peace
