Hmmm... I see a LOT of work there, but nothing that would 'humble' even
a dollar-wage mechanic. It's just a lot of work -- not a thing that
could be considered especially innovative, or requiring special skills.

I am reminded of the time, the carb on my Toyota crapped out "for
the last time". Fortunately, I was close enough to a parts store to be
able to walk there and back, with a rebuild kit for the carb.
An hour or so later, I've got news papers spread out on the picnic
table in the side yard, and the carb half disassembled, when herself
comes home, takes a look at what I am doing, and says "I couldn't do
anything that complicated." To which I thought "Complicated? This, I'm
just taking it apart, placing the pieces in order - and I have the
drawing right here for reference."

For me, ex-VW mechanic, it was no big deal. For her, not knowing
any of it: "Wow, that's so complicated."

I'm just wondering what sort of schedule, budget he had.

Long schedule, apparently unlimited budget. That's a lot of material,
never mind the tools, equipment, and labor. Even if he finished it,
delivered it to Galveston, and gave it to me, I couldn't afford the
operating expenses and upkeep.

Sure looks like he's having fun. Hope he doesn't get killed launching
it. Lots of stuff falling and tipping over, looks like.
