It's 52"
If I ever get a chance to stay on the ground, maybe I'll take up a new profession

Further, Zep asks the community whether it is more reasonable for Kip to hide these tools in his basement or if they should be in a shop with lots of space to work? Like this one, which will be finished in three weeks:
Unfortunately, this shop will not have many large metal working tools besides a band saw. Mostly woodworking.
BTW, Kip, please come down with Susan when the weather turns in April and camp out in the courtesy parking. You don't need to bring tools and we will open up the wine cellar...

My God, Man, what are getting ready to do? Resurrect a B-17? Whatever it is, I'm sure I'll be suitably impressed.

Really? Bringing the Herc? Where are you flying into? ATL? PDK? Dobbins? Transporting Ebola patients to the CDC? Okay, enough acronyms.
If you're available, I'd love to come visit you and that beautiful aircraft.
Jim
On edit: I'll bet the Herc is going back to Lockheed for some refit stuff. That's probably where it was built. I've got buddies up there that may be working with you. Great bunch of folks. Good luck to you.

No, I'm realizing that I built this hangar so I can change out a bad water heater in the winter. Not the most brilliant financial move.
But it will have some other functions--a paint booth for varnishing the kayaks and an office/kitchen/bathroom for when we have courtesy parkers or I'm kicked out of the house.

Kip, it would be an absolute honor to meet you in person someday. I owe you at least a case of beer for all the solid advice you have given me over the years. I was just talking about you Friday as I was using one of my favorite tools…

I'm so happy for you Zep, you finally have a place to park your F-16.
What are you going to do for armament?

No weapons except my antique keepsakes. I am now a peacenik, mostly.
I've also given up on jets. To expensive to operate. Marty and I are hoping to build the Pipistrel Sinus, a side-by-side powered glider with a 30:1 glide ratio. Our hangar, as big as it is, isn't big enough to build the wing, so we've got a classmate who has a longer shop where we can put the 49' 1-1/2" wing together.
Onward and upward!
Zep
