I pulled the trigger and bought my first hangar; closed on it last week. It is a 40x38' T-hangar at KHIO. I still don't have anything with wings to put inside of it, but I am looking! When I do finally find the right airplane, it is good to know that I'll have a place to park it.

Smart man. You're doing it in the right order. Congrats.

Welcome to the club you wont regret it !!

In the meantime you can put in a couple of dirt bikes, a Harley, couple of kayaks, beer fridge, microwave, weight bench, couch, desk, rocking chair, compressor, tool boxes, furniture from your kids that are between apartments....don't worry, an airplane will come soon enough

That was similar to my original plan; but it went more like this: boat, deuce and a half, rock crawler (x2), motorcycles (x4), pinball machine, space invaders machine, futon, model airplanes, model rockets, spare rockwell axles, some tires, and a couple of generators.
But, I know how these things go. I've already filled up 2 shops and am looking to build another one. No, I need to keep the hangar empty or there will never be an airplane inside of it...

Bought the plane first; hangared it at a local flight school hangar. Built a hangar:

Maule should be coming "home" in the next few days!

Looks like the makins of a fine man cave

What kind of little truck is that? Is it street legal?
I know a guy who has a little van that kinda looks like that.
I don't think I'd wanna jump on the freeway with it, but it looks pretty handy for throwing a buncha stuff in and running around locally.

Its a Japanese K class truck; Best ATV money can buy. Got a 6.5' bed and hauls 1000 lbs, 4WD and with the ATV tires is every bit as capable as any 4 wheeler. I live in that thing doing work around the ranch. It has the welder in it for this job. They are not "street legal" but there is some flexibility for farmers and ranchers using them on local non highway roads within 25 miles of their operation here in Texas. It can get up to 50 mph but they're supposed to be limited to 25 mph. It'll pull trailers around and move 1400 lb round bales.
