You know how I just said I figured my rickety old hangar was going to stay up OK? IT JUST BIT ME!
We went to fly on this loverly day. I couldn't figure out why the door chains were so tight. I went to move the other doors out of the way, when I realized the door was on the ground. I looked up and realized why there was a piece of wood on the ground. The top beam of the door had rotted and split so the bolt going to the hanger on the rail broke through it.
I figger a few guys could lift and muscle the door open so I went to the FBO. Crusty2 comes to look at it and says to not mess with it. The door can come off and fall on a plane.
I realize that there is probably 300-400 pounds of lumber alone there on the door, not to mention the sheet metal on it. It can be an uncontrollable load all by itself. The wind pushing on it surely wouldn't help.
It's hell being a grown up.
I gotta call the landlord on Monday.
Attachment NSFW!
Now I wonder if the rest of it can fall down.
