So far, I've been unable to get the owner of the airfield to assign me a space for it. The vendor that looks best to me sells a Quansit type building, (which is available in a 30'X22' size) is U.S. BUILDINGS in Boone, NC. They can be reached at 800/405-7501 and www.usbuildingsdirect.com. Prices appear reasonable, especially when you consider the resale value...Carl Vought > --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "DJ Vegh" > > hey guys.... been in Ireland all week just got back and am trying to catch > up to about 200 emails...... > > ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 11:22:33 AM PST US From: Steve Ruse Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: update on N74DV --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Steve Ruse I'm curious, what prices have you seen from usbuildingsdirct.com? I filled out the form for a price list on their website, and even called them. They sent me a brochure, but no prices. Thanks!

The Piet has lived for the last couple of years in a "Cover-It" hanger. (20X30) Just have to find a airfield that will let you put one up. Both hangers have been through hurricanes, (or the part of the storm that we got hit with) without damage. walt evans NX140DL ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carl Vought" Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: update on N74DV > --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Carl Vought" > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "DJ Vegh" > To: > Sent: Tuesday, January 18, 2005 11:05 PM > Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: update on N74DV > > For some time, I've been interested in putting up my own, small, hanger, > just big enough for one Piet.

This is a family shop, basically selling the materials out of their garage. They are about a mile from the intersection of I35 and I80. Give them a call to check inventory, and to make sure they will be around. They indicated they would also cut sheets of material down to ship UPS, if that was a need. I bought some 1/16 inch and 1/8 inch from them just to get started. http://www.cedartreeinc.com/ I also got the tip to use an electric teapot to make a steamer for the cap strips. I bought a GE electric Teapot from Walmart, about $29. A piece of 1 inch PVC tubing fits the spout with just a bit of sanding, and I can steam 3 strips at one time. I pinched the steam switch tube shut (and TIGd it, just because I can!) to keep the steam switch from turning the pot off. The overtemp switch will trip after about 20 minutes, so you need to reset the switch after letting it cool for a few minutes. One hour of steaming and the douglas fir capstrips bent very easily over a forming block. This amount of time matches quite nicely with the time required to pull a rib out of the jig, put the new strips in, glue all the joints and splice plates. -Norm
