A New Project

 

I got this P-40 Warhawk down last night and decided to build it.  I have had it for years, I started on it once but didn't like the retracts that came with it so it went up on the shelf.  Retracts have gotten better and I had an extra set that looked like they would work great.  While checking it out this morning I noticed all the shingles were off Steve and Dianne's house.

Of course I had to wander out and check out how they were doing.  All Weather Roofing was doing the job, the same ones who did ours a couple of years ago.

I had a great time watching the progress today, this is where they quit for the day on the West side.

I went around to see how the East side looked and had to climb up into the tree house to get a good picture.  It looks like they have most of the shingles on this side.

As I was heading out after dinner to work on the P-40 some more I stopped and took this picture of the shop as the sun was setting.  I made good headway this evening and have the second retract all fitted.  I am also adding a six millimeter carbon fiber rod to each wing to reinforce the area where the retract goes.  It was a good day, lots of activity around the neighborhood to watch, I saw Parker outside so I went over and had a nice visit with him.

Vera had brought in some rhubarb crisp from the freezer today.  I had it with caramel ice cream for a treat as I did today's blog.
