A work in progress

One of the reasons we bought a house with a bit of property was so hubby could have a shop where he would be able to build his airplane. After a lot of discussion and some negotiating we decided to put the shop here...

So we hired some guys to come in and clear the way. This is what Chuck did for us in just a couple of hours.

Abigail Loved it! Chuck even let her drive it.
