This is what happens when you pack a lot of work, home improvement, and travel into what could be decent build time.   Home improvement has this weird time dilation.   Like near-C spaceflight, I suppose.   A week-long project takes way longer when you can only work on weekends. but it remains in process for the entire time, so it&#8217;s like working on it for a month when it should take a few days.  It&#8217;s still not done.   I still have baseboards to put up in the bedroom.  And another garden bed to build.    But this weekend was pretty huge, because the tip-up portion of the canopy is drilled to the frame.  Yes.  Finally did it.  I mustered up the courage to put drill to plexiglass.  David came over and we drilled the canopy to the side rails and the F-631 ribs.   Wasn&#8217;t as bad as I thought it would be, and I had the distinct pleasure of seeing the big bubble hinge up and down just like it&#8217;s going to when it&#8217;s done.<br \/>\n<IMG SRC=\"http:\/\/stjohn.openbar.com\/airplane\/images\/4-4-2010\/IMG_0510.JPG\"><\/IMG><br \/>\nCanopy up!<br \/>\n<IMG SRC=\"http:\/\/stjohn.openbar.com\/airplane\/images\/4-4-2010\/IMG_0512.JPG\"><\/IMG><br \/>\nGot the side skirts drilled too, but not to the frame yet.   I still have deep-seated fears of cracking the plexi when backdrilling the screw holes, but I can use the plexi bit to find the position and finish drilling them out with the drill press.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>4 hours.
