That is awesome! I want to hear all about the inspection, and any other tips you might have. I am not far behind, I think.

Is it really primer or just moldy from taking so long? :mrgreen:

Not a cool thing to do since they said the pics would always be available :x

Not setting any firm dates but next Saturday is looking good weather wise and allows me a few days to get all the inspection panels, floor pans ext. back in and screwed. I would also like to get an hour of TO&L's in my instructor friend's RV7 before the big one.

I also want my insurance papers in my hands....I have bound coverage over the phone but I would feel better if I had the actual documents!!!!
