Weekend of 22 and 23 November 2008.
Oh boy, was it windy. Blowing an absolute gale all weekend so didn't see any aircraft movement.
Our first visit to hangar with the concrete floor down. How different it looks - but really pleased with the result.
Despite the wind blowing anything and everything out the back door, Stan marked out the floorplan for the caretakers residence. We really could have done with the main hangar door to keep the wind out.
A big day on Monday as Stan arranged the construction for the sliding doors with Cobram Windows (also to keep wind out).
A visit from Tony Parr from Moira Shire and Grant Case from Cobram Plumbing and Engineering to organise the Driveway crossing and other council related connections.
Also on Monday Glen Saunders dug a trench enabling our electrician, Alan Campbell, to insert underground cables, then install our metre box and put all in order for the electricity to be connected.

Saturday 1 November 2008.
Most of the walls are now completed, the guttering is on and now only the Colorbond barging and corner flashings required, and things are great.
Inside looks very large, but the back six metres will be taken up with the caretakers residence.
Openings have been inserted in readiness for sliding glass doors and of course our 16 metre wide main door to taxiway will still be a few weeks away.
The residence plumbing has been installed by Cobram Plumbing and Engineering, and Glen Saunders (from Yarrawonga) was busy levelling packing sand and digging trenches for concrete beams.
Our concretor, Brian Godfrey, all the way from O'Connell (near Bathurst) in New South Wales was readying the site prior to concrete pour on Tuesday 4 November for the residence section. The remainder to be poured several days later.
We painted tar onto inside of Colorbond, below lowest girt prior to concreting to form an isolation barrier between the Colorbond and concrete. (You might be able to see the black tar on the lowest section of the wall in the background of the photo of Brian Godfrey).
