Barb and I have lived in Oak Harbor since 1974 when we came here on orders.
Last Fall when I we returned from Vacation I was told there was a larger hangar open and would I want it, I said yes "If the mow for rent was still good, and was assured it was, so I moved to a larger hangar at OKH, but after moving to the larger hangar the airport manager came by to see how things were going and asked if I liked the larger hangar, I answered "what's not to like" the next day the owner called and informed me I needed to do more than just mow (14 ac), for the rent of the larger hangar, and told me I was to collect the mail from the box and mail it to him in Seattle, and clean the pilots lounge, Being surprised I kept my mouth shut not agreeing to any thing, and approached the airport manager about this new development, and was told not to worry about it, he would take care of it.
all winter went by, I assumed he had it taken care of, March 7 I received a call from the owner stating the mail had not been picked up, nor had the lounge been cleaned. And I was to start paying rent. He sent me a new lease agreement making some unseasonal demands like wanting my bank account numbers to electronically transfer rent payments and my social security number plus a security deposit of 230, first and last rent of 230 each to stay in the hangar, basically told him no, and found a new hangar at BVS 27 miles from OKH.
So with the engine removed from the Fairchild, I disassembled the aircraft emptied the hangar and moved to a great (brand new) hangar with a Bi-fold door that opens with a push of a button, heat, polished floor, and fire suppression.
Now we have nothing to hold us in Oak Harbor any more, So the house is on the market, and we are looking for a nice piece of land to build our retirement home. on the main land nearer to the kids and the hangar.
google these two addresses to see what we are looking at.
7833 Renic Drive Sedro-Wooley Wa 98284
that's a 5 ac piece of unimproved land with power and water at the lot, we walked it yesterday and jumped a heard of Elk out of their beds.
29041 East Elk Run Dr Sedro Woolley, WA 98282
That's a 20 ac, of unimproved land also in about the same area in the foot hills of the Cascade range on a bench off the Skagit River.
WE hope to build one of these with a heated shop in the basement that I can build RV kits. and sell the completed aircraft.
