This is still going, just very slow. I realized that as the wife kept going to more garage sales I would need more storage. So started rebuilding/finishing the garage.
Now in order to finish the garage, I couldn't keep hauling sheets of plywood and 2x4's around in her minivan, so had to get myself a truck. Now when I told the wife "truck" I'm sure she was thinking I would come home with a nice and shiny new air conditioned truck with all the conveniences of her loaded minivan. She was a little surprised at first, then a little angry claiming mid-life crisis cars and all that, but eventually she overcame that and came to love the truck and everything is back on track with a plan now! In my opinion, if I'm going to get a mid-life crisis vehicle, a ready-to-roll 71 Chevy pickup isn't necessarily a bad choice.
So now along with the starfighter and other arcade project, I have the garage project tossed in to make room to finish the previous projects... then the truck project to get going before I could finish the garage project, which would let me finish the arcade projects... and so on...
Anyways... will start up again on this soon as tomorrow I'm picking up about 30 2x4 and a dozen or so sheets of plywood, along with insulation to actually finish the garage this weekend and get started on the more important things again!
