LMAO!!! Yep, if I did all that, I'd definately need a rollaway!

Now Now Jim,
I am sure we all wish we had the problem of how big to build our
hangar!
Remember , the bigger ..the more toys it holds!!!! Just think of all
the fun stuff you get to buy to put in it. New rollaways.....more
tools....alittle project plane so you have something to really tinker on.
Oh
and did I mention MORE TOOLS!!!!

I'm in a bizarre double "but then" situation.

I've got room for a 1/2 mile grass strip, right in front of our house.
(This was a location requirement before building our house)

But then.... I would have to build a hanger... probably 40" x 50" with
doors
on the back for garage stalls on each side of the tail.

But then ..... I would need another airplane, even though the Aztec
would
go
in and out of 1/2 mile grass, it really isn't a great idea with 8" prop
clearance and I wouldn't put that request before my other two partners.

As "bad" as this sounds, one of my partners already has this ideal
situation
taken care of... he flys his C170 out of a grass strip right in front of
his
house. Needless to say, he flys about 5 times as much as I do.

My own strip that is my dream! Well just as soon as my rich Uncle
gets
out of the poor house! Biggest thing here is finding enough land
that
is
flat enough. If I were still in Eastern KY I could just buy a abandoned
strip mine....they make my pretty mountains into treelesss flat
runways!
May
as well get some use out of the eyesores.

I envy you Jim! The guy who owns the house next door has trash
living
there. Usually requires a monthly visit by the Sheriff's Dept. Love
where
I live and loathe my trashy neighbors!

While not quite that bad, I'm in a similar situation. We love our
home,
it has everything in it we want (or need), it's appreciating
nicely --
but
we're planning on moving next year, when my daughter graduates from
the
(excellent) neighborhood grade school.

It's nothing terrible, but we sure won't miss the lady across the
street
who lets her yippy dogs bark at 6:30 AM every morning. And it won't
be
hard to forget my idiot neighbors who fill their garages with junk so
that
they must park their $30K SUVs on the street (making our road
effectively
one-lane, especially in the winter when the plows can't get around
them).

Probably gonna buy an old farm house outside of town, with 20 acres
or
so
around it. Maybe put in a grass strip...
