Re: My Big Fat Renovation

I have a hard time finishing projects. I'll get them 80% and functional and find something else to piddle with. I can't do that with this. If I move a car in before it's done, it's over, it will never get "fully finished." I've promised myself no working on projects before it's done. I'll probably bring the Firebird in once the roof is done to get her out of the weather, and we get hail in the spring sometimes, so all my stuff might end up in there a few times before it's done, but nothing is coming apart.

The roof is the key. Working on it is weather and sunlight dependent, it's huge, and I can't install electric before it's done. Once the roof is on I can line up electric, then get the ceiling where the doors go insulated and sheetrocked, then the doors can be installed (by others, so we're only talking a few days total). With electric and doors I can start working nights after work on the insulation and interior finishes.

It would be awesome to be done by July 4th. That's about when it started last year.

Love your Falcon!
