When you go to work and co-workers say "looking good there, Joe". And you realize you have lost 20 pounds from not eating dinner or anything on the weekend trying to get those darn wing skins riveted.

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.

Way to go! Build it the way YOU want it!

#301: You find yourself recommending new stock items to the owner of your local Harbor Freight store!

#302: When asked, "How's your little project coming along?" You mistakenly think they're talking about your RV project, instead of the fact that your first child is due in 2 1/2 weeks! (This actually happened to me today..)

You might be an experimental builder if

- there is now aircraft hardware, wiring, and fabricated aluminum widgets also appearing on your car, lawnmower, furniture,....

- a piece of rudder skin shows up as a prop in your kids' school play.

- you have the only 10yr old girl around who can fabricate her own toys.

You might be an RV Builder if... #303 -

- One girlfriend helped you rivet the right wing.
- Another girlfriend helped you rivet the left.
- The first woman you lived with helped you rivet the fuselage.
- Your wife flew with you until the kids arrived.
- You hope your next significant-other will want to build an F1 Rocket with you!

I distinctly remember telling my 2nd exwife once "That airplane was here before you were, and it'll be here long after you're gone."

She's gone, it's still here. Life is good.

Hmm... I seem to remember having that distinction myself!

Is it time to have a "Your Kid is a Future RV-Builder If..." thread?
