New Hangar at Christian Ranch Airport (7XS5)
Building the hangar was an experience into itself. My daughter worked for a company that sold the building kits and she got us a good deal. When it arrived, we couldn't believe that the entire building was on three pallets, even if they did weigh 4,000 pounds each! We were able to get the entire building up in just a little over a week's time thanks to the assistance of many friends. I actually had one friend (Jim) who took a week of vacation to come up and help. Robert and I flew to several airports looking at bi-fold doors. We took the best features of each and designed and built our own. The goal was to keep mice and rattlesnakes out. So far we haven't found any rattlesnakes.
