Building a Jodel D150

Its not that big!!

Well it looks like a long gap between posts and indeed it is. The summer has been and interesting time for me. the first task to do over the longer holiday and good weather was to construct a larger 'shed' to enable me to move out of the rather cramped garage. I had considered building a brick structure but planning permission would have been a problem.

I then considered a wooden shed, at 30ft by 14ft I was just inside the planning permission but outside of the budget. The quote I got was for over £4,000, way too much so I sought a cheaper alternative.

Bingo I went to visit some other pilots who used what was essentially a large polytunnel to 'hangar' their aircraft in. So a bit of time on ebay and I had secured myself a second hand polytunnel frame for £60. Next the suppliers of polytunnels have a hangar plastic (Its really for mushroom polytunnels) total cost less than £100.

Then the task it to construct it, went well frame erected easily, floor frame was no problem.... then a bent to pick up a screw and my back went.... off work for 3 weeks .... of construction for two months...
