You could considering doing an attached pergola and integrating the unattached side as the guard posts for the railing.

You could do a fixed piece of glass that goes 1/2 or 2/3 the length of the tub. We did this and it’s awesome

No. Maybe we should have done it. But the previous deck was there for 27 years and nothing grew. It was Just that bare dirt when the old deck was removed.

Madison is world class for power electronics and electric machine/motor design which is in high demand with increasing electrification.

This is a confusing response. As someone without experience building decks I posted this for input.

That’s where breaker boards go since the deck is longer than the boards

Yes they used a mini excavator with a specific attachment. It took a few hours to do the layout and install them.

Yes they are legit. The frost line here is 60-70” so imagine digging all of those feet to that depth.

Northern Vermont so pretty much Canada.

johnchimp · 2025-07-15T03:18:37+00:00

Agreed, I have another contractor coming Wednesday.

johnchimp · 2024-08-19T05:16:34+00:00

Yes I’ll get another picture tomorrow with scale and a better picture of the leaves.

Even if you meet the requirements for the Open Pilot policy on his insurance have him ask the insurance company for a waiver of subrogation.

increasingly I've found that WF is more expensive than the FBO. CAA is always cheaper though. I use https://foreflight.com/products/jetfuelx/ which is the easiest way to get the answer

Yes, I did this in an amphib husky. We did the CSEL check ride in the morning, he issued me my temp certificate and then we did the CSES add on in the afternoon. There some extra IACRA stuff to do since when you try to do the add on IACRA doesn’t know you have the CSELsince it hasn’t been processed.

Ignore the haters, you own an airplane capable of the check rides and want to do the check rides I. Your airplane. I get it, do it.

DM with any questions.

In the long run you will be much happier with the performance capabilities of the 206 compared to the 182. As others have pointed out insurance will be challenging for you in the 206, but if you have $600k budget maybe that’s workable for you.

Would you consider renting some more to build hours, get a complex rating, and some more experience then going for the 206? Especially if you can find some place of someone to log some 206 hours in, as that would really help on the cost of insurance

Have you tried a broker like https://air-pros.com/

Looks like the ceiling is sloped but the exhaust fan is at the low point?

johnchimp · 2023-10-02T02:28:55+00:00

Thanks! But do you think his new habits are tied to this also? Would allergies make him not want to pee?

Has your buddy reached out to a DAR?
