The really scary part is when you've spent years with those parts neatly organized on shelves, with your build space looking like a well-stocked warehouse. Then one day you look around and the shelves are... BARE! Oh my, what a feeling!
I recently experienced this epiphany. No more parts on the shelves must mean only one thing - the airplane is pretty much ready to fly. The evening that I reached this conclusion was a bad one for me as I spent the whole night lying in bed, excited, making mental to-do lists to prepare for final inspection and first flight. It's a real shifting of gears to go from full-on construction to making ready for flight, or at least it has been for me.

I got a neighbor that I think drinks a lot of vitamin B  and will want to talk for 47 hours when he sees me in the garage. The mustang was blocking his view for a while but it has since been relocated to make room for the airplane; only a matter of time now...

this looks totally normal to me, except you are not using the dining room.

Haha! My kid (recent college grad) is off on a 6-month internship, her bed is now home to the plexiglass canopy and misc.

Even though it has been years since mine has gone to the hangar at the airport, people still use "That house with an airplane in the garage" as a reference point to give others directions.

When nearly every room in the house is storing finished parts, you are truly near the end of the work at home. The storage increases with build time. You will see.

I purposely only open my garage about half way to get air flow but still avoid people walking buy saying "Is that an airplane?"
