Who puts cars in the garage...ppfftt. I had a car in the garage once, while we were out of town. That is it.

I broke down and built a backyard shed for the wings and empennage. Click for more (including horrible child labor) pictures.

Good times.
Tanya tells a story about how, after we got married, it took 16yrs for her to be able to park a car in the garage. (I didn't say "her" car!)
Now, a couple decades in, she has a full time parking spot, IN the garage for the beat down old truck she has been driving all those years. She couldn't care less if it got hailed on or a big tree fell on it now. Beware, woman driving nothing more than a battering ram in traffic  .

Back in another lifetime, while working at T.I., I drove a '62 Chevy Stepside P-U with half a railroad tie for a front bumper.
People tended to give me right-of-way.

Doin' it...both again and with an RV10. Only real issue so far has been the kabuki dance required to shuffle things around to get the canopy fitted all the while not touching mamma's Explorer (which is required to be in a garage for some odd reason, meanwhile, the real truck sits out in the driveway  )

RV-10 in 2-Car Garage
A question to you 10 builders. Will an RV-10 build fit in a 2-car garage?
I finished my RV-7A in my two car garage and took it to the airport for final assembly. It fit fine. I even put the wings on to drill the rear wing spar bolt hole with the tail installed. Is the RV-10 so much bigger that I really need a hangar to build in or will I be able to build it most of the way in my garage?
thanks
