Default Weirdest Building Locations

Just wanted to see what kind of odd building locations people have built RV's in. Trying to get some ideas for the future!

Pictures would be nice!!!

Thanks, Ryan

Does all of Los Angeles count? It's pretty weird here.

I was talking to an engine builder and somehow it came up how he had been asked by a customer to deliver an engine but only after dark.

When he got there, he discovered that it was the second floor of an apartment building and every room in the apartment had airplane parts in it. The fuselage was in the living room, wings in another room, and tail feathers stashed under his bed. They put the engine in the kitchen.

The minimum number of planes one should own is one. The correct number is n+1, where n is the number of planes currently owned. This equation may also be re-written as s-1, where s is the number of planes owned that would result in separation from your partner.

Default Upstairs apartment..

.....as well as barns, sometimes. I built my Cassutt wings in my living room while a spare bedroom served as the temporary tv/living room. Years ago, I saw an airplane coming out of a single-wide mobile home after they removed the end wall. It was put back by three guys that day!

Default living room building...

I've always wondered how these folks got away with all the noise from the air compressor and the rivet gun?

My Unfinished basement has been working very well. Surprisingly my air drill and pneumatic cleco gun haven't woken the child / girlfriend. Having a 65 gal compressor helps since I can charge it up before bed time, and I'm good to go.

However my bench grinder is off limits after 8pm. I may relocate that to the garage.

We also have one of these in each bedroom which helps a ton. Marpac SleepMate
