Here is my next strange request... I'm building a Pietenpol in a 10x20ftbasement right now. My first project, a Fisher 404, was built here. It wasrigged by carrying it out of the basement doors, piece by piece , andassembling out on the lawn, and brought back in when done to cover, thenback outside to paint, blah, blah, blah.With the Pietenpol, I'm just about ready to cover, so in order to get it toa place where I can rig it, a basement wall has to go to get the wingoutside, and once it's outside, I wanted to be able to assemble and rig itin my new imaginary garage. I've started the paper trail with buildingpermits, variances, fees. and because of size limitations being too close toa septic tank, it's going to be not what I wanted for space, but I don'thave any choice.Heres my question...although the garage can be 20' front to back,,,it canonly be 10ft wide ( outside dimentions). How wide is a standard garage?And how wide is a standard garage roll up door?Does anyone out there work in a 10ft wide garage?thankswaltps walts airplane factory has to move-----------------------------------------------------________________________________________________________________________________

Walt - I work in a 12 x 19 foot garage, but shelves take up 2' along onewall. No big problems, but I store large finished things in a pal's 30 x 60race car garage.Craig----- Original Message -----

Walt, I've got a 14x19 old time flat roof one car garage. I built mymodified condor in there and had room to cover and paint.I've been building my piet in the basement, livingroom/diningroom, and I'mfinally moving the fuse out to the garage so I can assemble the wingsupstairs. I would at least build a 15x20 at the very minimum. I'm sureyou'll want the extra 5 ft width.That would give you the room for a roll up door also.Good luck.CarlPlease visit my website atwww.megsinet.net/skycarl-----Original Message-----
