Why is this happening?

[INA201]

I bought a 1978 M20J a year ago. Now I am tearing out our kitchen to update it. Does anyone know "why this is happening"?  I'm new to this.

pre-requisites?

Your putting the old appliances into your new hangar kitchen?

[Marauder]

I think simply you have lost your mind. I have done one kitchen, enough for me for a lifetime.

Or is it Happy Wife, Happy Life?

Think of it as simply remodeling the galley. Very normal. You have not lost your mind!

You got off easy, you still have drywall on your walls! 

Wait till you need a new engine....

[Aerodon]

Now if you had done it the other way around, you would be flying at least a 231...

That's funny, I got a new plane and a new kitchen last year, too.

1) you had to use some AMU's at the house

or

2) you needed an oven to powder coat airplane parts and redoing the kitchen keeps it under the radar

Well she eventually got a new Jeep and a new dinning room table.

She gets some nice trips as well.

Too bad you are that far away I need a good used electric stove for the club house at the airport.

I think it is a pretty common condition. I bought a 77 J a little over a year ago. All new appliances appeared in the kitchen last week and it appears new cabinets and counter tops are in order as well. I wish someone warned me of this before.

That is the upside. I now have a good powder coat oven in the basement waiting on the electrician.

Because ATC (the wife) issued vectors (instructions) to be cleared for the approach (the bedroom).  You as PIC can ignore them at your own peril however.

I had no idea this was such a common issue.  This should be accounted for on every price list of "how much does an airplane cost?".  I had to do the kitchen first, by the way...but then got into a great '88 J.

You guys are lucky, I did not only all the appliances, granite, I also had to tear out the drywall to wire under cabinet lights and then a full glass tile backsplash. Also R&R and repainted all 43 cabinet doors and drawer faces. I didn't lay the granite but I did the rest. 

She let me buy a 201 but she really owes me a P-Baron for all that work.

It's really just simple math..   

Home Upgrades + Airplane Upgrades =  Happy Marriage/Relationship.  

Follow this simple formula and you will both grow old and happy together   You and the airplane that is............

 

 

[Oldguy]

Because you are setting up to trade the J in on a higher, faster, longer range Mooney and wanted some brownie points before you broached the subject?

Wow, someone is re-writing history.  I am mostly indifferent about house stuff, HE is an appliance snob.  He did it to entertain himself while I was traveling in Southeast Asia with my family.

 

and the 201 is mine not his

Well, hell, that didn't take long.

You can't hide.  At least not on Mooneyspace if your wife is a pilot.

I bet you'll never have to clean mud off the carpet, neither !

Picked up plane in May. Had two pregnant mares by July.

Dang.

OK OK I think I get it now!  Is the term AMUS used to determine the Aviation Monetary Unit with the S being the spouse multiplier?
