Out of Hibernation
On 2 October 1999, I called Richard Steeves and ordered a set of plans to build a Coot A amphibian. Since then I have put about 360 hours into the planning and construction of my Coot. Alas, my last log entry was in July 2002. My profession as a faculty member at the University of Washington required that I moth ball the project for several years.
Now, in August of 2005, I have decided to de-moth ball my project and resume my Coot building activities. This Blog will act as something of a public journal of my building activities. I have no idea why I am making this blog public, except that I hope it will lead to some discussion with other homebuilders. Additionally, a stale blog is a bad thing—I will be under some pressure to keep writing, which means that I must keep building, as well.
For anyone out there reading this blog, feel free to comment.
