davidgeorge212,
So the upstairs is your living space and she has the house I take it.:):D I'm lucky, my girl doesn't mind my hobby, she likes the fact that I'm 5 years old mentally,.....not sure if this is a good thing it means one of two things, either I'm one of the lucky guy's on here that has a girl that supports me or,........she's sick in the head and likes little boys?!:eek::):D Maybe I sh ould keep my little world more shut to everybody.[&o]

RE: You know your addicted to building when...
 

When you're no longer sad after a bad crash, but on the way home are planning what to build for all the "liberated" equipment.

RE: You know your addicted to building when...
 

well i usualy get excited at the thought of a rebuild makes a change from building.

RE: You know your addicted to building when...
 

When your fingertip's are so calloused up from pushing T Pins, you can send Morse code on a water pipe with them!
When you can find EVERYTHING needed to finish a kit, right in your shop!
When placing an order, you search for hours for an item whose price will bring the total up EXACTLY to the amount required for the next higher tier of discount!
When your shop looks like it got crop-dusted, but its really from all the sanding!
You have so many rolls of plans standing about, it looks like you dismantled the pipe organ from the Vatican!
You have the exact amount of time memorized, between the moment you crack open a jar of dope...and the audible wrath of confirmation that you have done so, from up-stairs!

PERFECT!!!

'BOUT 22 SECONDS

RE: You know your addicted to building when...
 

When you build all weekend through the days and through the nights and then at 4am you realize that you have to go to work in a little while!

RE: You know your addicted to building when...
 

- When you wake up at 4am to pee, go out to check out the epoxy dried, and never get back to bed. And don't mind at all.
- When you keep coming back into the room just to view your latest work from a different angle.
- When you realize that, time-wise, you get 5x more enjoyment from building than from flying.
- When you start taking down pictures of the family to hang more finished planes.

RE: You know your addicted to building when...
 

When the hobby store is running low on stock they ring you to place an order & you can fill it

RE: You know your addicted to building when...
 

Wow you have a great set up....... Carl

RE: You know your addicted to building when...
 

That's me addicted then!

RE: You know your addicted to building when...
 

When your garage starts looking more like the Smithsonian Air and Space than a garage.


:eek:

RE: You know your addicted to building when...
 

Steve - nice use of ceiling space! What make \ size is that red\white\blue Mustang? And what engine? I saw one of those flying locally - this one looked like about a 65", with a 91 OS 23s and retracts. I really liked the plane, but haven't been able to find it online. And was yours a kit? If it was, would you recommend for a first kit? I'm looking to build a warbird. Thanks.

RE: You know your addicted to building when...
 

Thanks for the compliment! The P51 is the World models Giant scale Mrs America (ARF, sorry). The plane has an 80" wingspan with retracts and she has an MDS 1.48 in her. This warbird flys more like a trainer than a warbird! Definately recomend. She's built light and looks pretty good. I have the specs on my models page! Thanks again.

Steve

RE: You know your addicted to building when...
 

When you don't quit building until you're so tired you have to use debonder to free yourself from your latest project.
When you hit the rc universe site just as soon as your breaktime comes at work.
When you figure its ok to leave the door to the kitchen open cause your attached garage shop(with its 2 kerosene heaters) is warmer than the inside of your house.
When stereo speakers from your in the house system are included in the shop area.

Thats Just Too Funny!!!!!

RE: You know your addicted to building when...
 

It's Monday and I'm depressed. :(

The maid comes in on Tuesdays so now I have to clean up. That means I have to un-pin my stab from my 24X80" hollow core door building table and get it out of the living room. Then Ill have to vacuum up all the balsa dust after sweeping the big chunks up and while I'm at, pick up all the empty beer cans I left on the kitchen counter because I was in too much of a hurry to actually use the trash can. And maybe I should toss out the Tower Hobbies boxes behind the trash while I'm at it.

I need to do laundry but I live on a 3rd floor apt and that laundrymat is a long ways away. I could get the diaganols glued in the stab before I need to start cleaning up. Or go to Home Depot and pick up some 2oz. fiberglass for my Eindecker 90 cowling.

Checking wallet. [:'(]

I'm broke and don't have anything set up for dinner. Heck, I can allways pick up a microwave burritoe, some fiberglass, stay up late and show up late for work tomarrow... [X(]

RE: You know your addicted to building when...
 

Oh, and for those who may ask how I can afford a maid, well, I was married for 12 years. She wouldn't let me have RC Planes let alone letting me have the time to myself to build one. Took all my paycheck and expected me to clean up after myself.

I still miss my ex. But my aim is improving.

RE: You know your addicted to building when...
 

..when you have to buy a bigger house because the house you live in is too small for all your planes and workshop....

RE: You know your addicted to building when...
 

To GaryHarris = why depressed? Sounds like you've got some good projects going and your priorities are in the right place. Maybe your maid could be cuter?

RE: You know your addicted to building when...
 

You know that you are addicted when you are with your friends drinking a great beer in a topless bar and still you are thinking on how to level those warped wings that you built the day before.
