One day, the plan is to make the cabin available to folks who want to fly in and stay.
 
a few suggestions.

1. Tile drainage in four locations. One run on either side of the runway and one down the middle. Also consider tile in the taxi area.

2. Get a professional grader in an ask for a slight crown in the middle of the runway.

22 years with mine, it is great to fly from your home!

Our old friend Jim Winings used to put 12" of crown on all 19 of the runways he built. Watched him do it. He would set up a reference and as he graded he would get off the tractor and stand in the middle with a handheld transit to check as he was working. All of the runways he graded are superb.
