Welcome, my brother, to the wonder-filled world of the AVION owner.
Yep, we all here know EXACTLY of whence you speak when we sense the disillusionment and incredulity of your writings. We've all been in your shoes at one (actually more than one) time or another, if we stayed with these beauties long enough to complete the project. And, rest assured, intrepid adventurer, we laugh not AT, but WITH, you, as we lovingly remember our own disbelief at how sometimes the workmanship slipped below the bar, or the fact that nearly every measurement of two alledgedly identical pieces of wood or trim could be so off. How no two kitchenette countertops could possibly fit "that many different ways". Or, Or, how plumbing could be routed in so many different directions on 'sister units'.
Stay the course. Fight the good fight. Complete your mission, because that's what you've chosen with your AVION. A mission. Of love.
We're here with you. We're here for you.
Oh, yeah. One more thing. Those "blasted rectangle bit screw head" 's. They're called, believe it or not, clutch heads. We all have laughed and cried over them. Your local ACE Hardware Store, carries them, in packets of two (one of each different size...yeah, I know) for just a couple of bucks.
When you get discouraged, I suggest checking out some of Garry or Dennis's travel photos. They always get me back out working on our C10 again.
Carry on, oh warrior! Be of good cheer.
