I introduced myself in the Newbies back in August and want to get started on a build thread. We are in the process of building a modified Grumman 2. I have found all kinds of help from the forum (plans, ideas, and good sense construction). It's unbelievable all the builders and all the answers I can get here. It's funny with all the teardrops that have been built, I have only seen one on the highway. Guess there aren't many here in Florida.
I have purchased a 4x8 trailer from Harbor Freight and I have built a 5x9 floor to put on it. As soon as I figure out how to put pictures in my posts I will include them here. As of now they are in my Album.
I am using Ultra Roof 1000 elastomeric coating for the under side but I'm thinking of putting a coat of the black stuff on top of that just to be sure of waterproofing.
I have started on the walls and will post pix later. I do have some pix on my web site.
Thanks to all for being there. I'm sure I will have questions.
Hope to meet up with some of you in the near future. Being retired you would think I would have all the time in the world but it seems like I am busier now than when I was working, but at least I am doing the things I didn't have a chance to do before. The build is off to a slow start but I WILL make it.
