You might be an RV builder if.....

...you have masked individual rivets for paint.

BTW: I know, there's an old thread out there somewhere, but I couldn't find it. And, hey, I thought my achievement tonight was so extraordinarily anal, I figured I'd just resurrect the thread.

Build on!

I should have painted it before riveting it.

That looks cool but you are never going to see them, once they are installed.

Here's the "You might be a RV builder if..." thread.

Seeing them is not the point. I have come to the conclusion that building an RV is like creating a sculpture. An artist is not interested in what is seen but what he is expressing through its construction.

I think that there was something in you that wanted to do it that way, just out of love :-)

That is very sharp looking. Nice work.

Itching the creative side of the brain. Totally agree.
Some of my best work is hidden inside the plane. Makes me proud just thinking about it but nobody will ever know.

Bill R.,
You're almost right, but I'll see the pedals every time I look down getting in/out of the jet...er, plane.

Everyone else,
Right! I built that part of the airplane (plus all the others) exactly the way I wanted it, which is one of the many tremendously satisfying aspects of building my own RV.

I hear ya. Also keep the house at temp 54 so you can afford that new lycoming.
