I have been building mine in my living room (not married, so no issues). Based on an article in kitplanes, I bought a 16' extension ladder, took it apart and used it as a foundation with two 4' X 4' sections of plywood (3/8") under particle board (smooth surface X 1/2") for use on a previously built project. The ladder sections provide a square and rigid substructure, allows me to pick it up and lean it against a wall if I need to, and rests on adjustable sawhorses (Home Depot, height adjustable from 30" - 37"). I think I paid less than $60 or the ladder at Lowes during a sale, the wood was about $30, so with screws, bolts, nuts, and all the other stuff, I think I've got less than $200 and a half a day's work in a very nice, flexible 4' X 8' work table; just make two and you can make a full stretch KR and have a really neat set of work bench for other projects. (either 4' X 16' or 8' X 8') I think the KitPlanes idea more than paid for about 3 years of the subscription price (and no, I don't work for KitPlanes). Happy flying, Mark W N952MW
