Congratulations Trent. Dreams are meant to come true. Can’t wait for a video of your first overnight fly in, so all your friends can fill up the hanger with their bush planes .
I have watched you since before you started on the house. Really exciting to see you finish this stage of the dream. Congratulations, you worked incredibly hard to get here.
Congratulations! Tears in my eyes to see the realization of your dream. And chuckling over "you can never have enough space." For now, anyway, you have room for your flying buddies to come have a sleepover for their airplanes.
Diamond Doors didn't have to ask you to mention them, because they knew you would love your door enough to talk about it anyway. That's a sign of a good product and good marketing!
It has been a long journey, starting when you bought the property...I remember...and you have stayed focused and stayed the course. Congrats Trent. I am sure you will spend some time just staring at it all...taking in the fact that it is done. And you did it.
I've had a big smile on my face with every segment of this build. This one is no exception. I smiled the whole way through this video. You are so right - someone once said, "There's no such thing as to much horsepower." In your case, "There's no such thing as to much hanger space." WooooHoooo.
I just built and installed the door for our hanger as well, I forget the brand name but its an incredible door design. Single swing, but Instead of pivoting at the top header, the door sits on pins mounted to the door jams. Up top are cam rollers that extend back into the building by the ceiling, with the hydro rams all concealed inside the door jams. When it opens, it swings a fluid motion up and inside, so half the door ends up against the ceiling, and half is outside. It opens completely horizontal so you have max door height, and lots of shade from the sun. Theres a single horizontal truss about halfway up across the whole outside door, which actually makes a great shaded extention when the door is closed. I have worked a lot with those bifolds, and they offer very minimal shade when open, and hang quite a bit lower than the header when fully opened. Not to discredit your Door choice at all, hell if it works it works. But since you're reviewing it, I thought I would share my experiences with this, in my opinion, much better design of hanger door. Either way congrats on the hanger man, it was cool to watch the difference in building a metal building vs we were building our stick frame hanger at the same time as you. In the end, they all cost way too Damn much, but there's nothing better than seeing that building come to fruition. Cheers brother🤙
After watching your channel for several years I feel invested in this story and have been waiting for the hangar. Truly happy for you and your accomplishment. This is a huge milestone!! Congrats!
Congratulations, what a milestone! Still remember I joined this channel when you tour the house and you mention the hanger build in the future. It doesn't mather if dreams are big or small, what matters is that we achive them.
I loved seeing your build come together, im currently searching from property to build my homestead on as well as an airstrip. its been a few years of saving, and careful planning but im thinking in the next 4 years ill finally have it. 10 years in the Navy and dreaming of bigger and better things and its finally in sight and doable.
One day in Ft. Walton Beach I was walking down the street to Fokker’s Pub and by sheer coincidence an Air Force pilot was taking delivery of a Quicksilver ultra light at one of the businesses on the way. He was a total stranger, but I got to share in that moment when he was able to finally own his own aircraft after years of work and saving. I remember being so happy for him, it’s something I’ll never forget. Good luck! 😀
Fantastic video, Trent! Things look awesome over there! Your #DiamondDoors Bi-Fold hangar door looks and works amazingly! Great job, everyone! A night shot of your outdoor lighting might be cool. Congratulations, Trent!!!
It's so wonderful to see all your ideas come to fruition!! Your videos are always great and this one totally made me cry cause I know how much you wanted this!!
Congratulations, Trent, on "completing" the hangar. We all know that such a thing is never "done," there are always refinements and tweaks down the road. But, you've reached this goal! Time to relax and enjoy . . . and start to plan the next goal. We're either moving forward or losing ground. So, solar roof panels, batteries, and taking the whole thing off grid? Airfield accessories? Fuel storage? Camera towers, drone signal boosters?
Goodbye hangar fees for life! What an excellent hangar, you are a lucky man having that at home. Now on to landscaping! I bet you could build some very nice gardens around the hangar.
Trent, I've been watching you for 5 years now since the day you broke ground on your house and I'm almost crying watching this because you have been my inspiration for as long as I can remember, I started watching your vids when I was 10 and I'm now pursuing my own pilots license thanks to you. I can never explain how big of a difference you have made in my life, thank you so much for 5 years of entertainment, inspiration and lessons, here's to 5 more. Congratulations on everything you have achieved over the years, and thank you again.
Our Airport has those Bi-fold doors. Heads-up, keep an eye on the pulleys at the top. If the cables aren’t kept taunt, they can jump to the outside of the pulley and wear out the shaft that goes through the pulley. Very nice hanger! Congratulations
That must have been an awesome feeling bringing thr garage door opener with you fort that flight 😊 awesome job with the hangar build and congratulations! 🎉
Pilatus PC-12 and a little longer strip and cut the grass those approch lights looked lost out there some wheree Thanks for what we all have been waiting for Mr Palmer weldone
Looks so nice Teent, great job, and way to show those garage door guys that there is a way to do things right, even though it wasn't perfectly made for your building.
Congratulations Trent !! My pilot Uncle did this decades ago and never regretted it (except doing it sooner). For the dirt ... maybe thrown down some basic crass or something similar to keep the dust to a minimum. Enjoy the fruits of your hard labor !!!
Congrats Trent on a fine looking hangar. A few things I thought that would help are putting a rubber threshold strip under the two larger doors to keep the bugs and water out and hang a Big Ass fan in the middle to cool it. Again, well done...
My late boss, Al Hundere (of Alcor EGTs and CHTs), had a Seneca upgraded to have Seneca II gear that was approved for rough strips like yours. He had a tiny island with an airstrip on it. It was next to the island of Roritan off the Honduran coast. He would fly the Seneca to the Island after clearing customs in Tegucigalpa. He also kept a Cessna 206 in a hangar in Teguc in case he flew his 340 to Honduras from San Antonio, instead of the Seneca. The 206 could match the 340 pound for pound in load. FYI, he had a Kitfox II on floats that he used from the lake by his house in Salmon Arm, BC.
This is one of my favorite videos of yours. You inspired me to get into aviation and to see your hangar go up and the FreedomFox inside with your own runway. Just looks so sick! S/O Diamond Doors that is a slick door!
Living your best life man! I know there has been some turbulence on your route, but we can all see what's possible when the team has a common goal and is willing to roll up the sleeves! Congratulations Sir.👌
I'm so happy for you as I've watched the progress of your own new home with enough property for a landing strip, and how a beautiful hangar as well. Congratulations--I"m very happy for you. Every Pilot's dream. Myself and many other people some years ago contributed $$ for your friend Nikk to build a new Kitfox after his accident and lengthy recovery. But we've seen precious little for quite a while on your channel about Nikk, and about his new Kitfox. How about a video soon on his progress, his recovery, and his new Kitfox? My best to you. CHeers.
Nice you should get an internet enabled door remote. MyQ is cheap and works well. There are some homebrew and others. You can then open it as long as you have Internet.
What an AMAZING ACCOMPLISHMENT ! ! ! And it is BEEEEEEEEEEAUTIFUL both inside and out ! I think we are ALL is spectators are GREEN with ENVY ! And whoever said that, " Your hanger can NEVER be TOO BIG." is dead on ! And I am once again impressed with what I'm going to call, your "AVIATOR ATTITUDE" when you found out that roll up glass door was NOT the right size..... but you found a way to make it work anyway. AND from what I can see, it LOOKS like it was made to fit the opening. Just FABULOUS in every way ! ! ! ! ! ! ! BUT, of course, "Curious George" here, now has one more question.... Are you gonna have any 2nd floor work or storage area kinda like what Mike (Patey) put in his hanger ? ....(I think he did that renovation just before he started to build "Scrappy"?)
Nice build Trent - Top notch as usual. I Just received my special airworthiness certificate on my Kitfox 5, so I'll be seeing you around in the upcoming years.
Hi Trent, What an incredible project that came out beautiful. It's great to see you be able to enjoy the fruits of your labor. You have put together everyone's dream that is in aviation. Great job! Take care, Be safe.
Lovely job, Trent. I'm looking forward to seeing how you transform the outside. Don't forget the fire sprinkler system on the roof. I've watched your one about the fire scare you had.
Love the glass garage door, looks fantastic. Also really dig how involved you are in the build and not just someone paying others to do the work. Cool looking at the plane and other toys sitting in there.
lamps on the lower half of the hangar door (just below the longitudinal hinge), when closed, illuminate the street near the hangar, and when the hangar door is open and in the upper folded state, they give a little light to the hangar...
I'm sure that's a great deal of satisfaction for you. Not having to travel anymore to go get your plane. Just walking out your door and taking off. Is congratulations, A job well done.
Trent, It looks great. I realize that there is more to do but you need to consider having a "small" fly in and invite all those who helped. Make sure you do a video of it and make stars of all who helped nd are ok being on RUclips. I am here in Houston considering building a building and am glad to know about Diamond Doors.
Good to see this thing come together. I just spent a lot of time just setting up a power meter and panel to get service remotely on my wife's land. I was looking at running power back twice the distance we actually ran.... the cost was staggering.
You stuck with it, awesome achievement 😊 How many projects like this start, and never finish!! Never mind to such a high quality and innovative design. 👍👍
Excellent job Trent! It’s been a joy watching your vision and hard work culminating in a beautiful hanger and shop! Was going to look for your plane at RARA but guess it will be at home? Perhaps I’ll see you there.
All you need now Trent is to find someone who produces plane tugs and see if they'd want to gift you a best tug for parking the Freedom Fox in the hanger, as your plane doesn't have reverse thrust.
The perfect hangar...now build an aircraft..it's an immensely satisfying experience...and lay down a fairly sized concrete slab before the door..greetings from Iceland
Well Done!! Beautiful hanger and fits well with the house. Let me know when you are ready for cabinets I have a product that will fit great in the hanger.
TP Fly-in in 3..2... That is an absolutely sick shop/hangar! And yeah the Diamond Door is too cool. I love the bi-fold style because it gives you nice little awning and it's just out of the way completely.
The shot of Freedom Fox flying over the hanger while the door was opening was the coolest thing ever!
Congratulations Trent. Dreams are meant to come true. Can’t wait for a video of your first overnight fly in, so all your friends can fill up the hanger with their bush planes .
😀😀 Trent’s Hangar….His favourite “Square Space” for sure.
That is an incredible hangar / shop. :-) Living the dream. :-) -Daven
I have watched you since before you started on the house. Really exciting to see you finish this stage of the dream. Congratulations, you worked incredibly hard to get here.
Congratulations! Tears in my eyes to see the realization of your dream. And chuckling over "you can never have enough space." For now, anyway, you have room for your flying buddies to come have a sleepover for their airplanes.
Wow wow wow, can’t believer it’s DONE! This is living the dream right here, congrats!!
Diamond Doors didn't have to ask you to mention them, because they knew you would love your door enough to talk about it anyway. That's a sign of a good product and good marketing!
It has been a long journey, starting when you bought the property...I remember...and you have stayed focused and stayed the course. Congrats Trent. I am sure you will spend some time just staring at it all...taking in the fact that it is done. And you did it.
Congratulations on the completion of your hanger, it looks bloody awesome and great to see your plane in it. Cheers 🍻

Awesome hanger, awesome plane, awesome home on awesome land in an awesome place! Cheers
Congratulations Trent. We can tell you worked extremely hard to make this happen. You earned it!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations Trent ! Freedom Fox is at home ... well done. Dream big, live big. Fly safe !
After watching your channel for several years I feel invested in this story and have been waiting for the hangar. Truly happy for you and your accomplishment. This is a huge milestone!! Congrats!
Congratulations, what a milestone! Still remember I joined this channel when you tour the house and you mention the hanger build in the future. It doesn't mather if dreams are big or small, what matters is that we achive them.
You may have to use all that extra space to build a plane. That would make for some good videos.
I loved seeing your build come together, im currently searching from property to build my homestead on as well as an airstrip. its been a few years of saving, and careful planning but im thinking in the next 4 years ill finally have it. 10 years in the Navy and dreaming of bigger and better things and its finally in sight and doable.

Trent
Thanks again for sharing your experience with building your hanger with us.
Been with you from start to finish on this hangar build series man. So pumped to have been along for the ride. What a joy :)
Cool, Well Done Trent. Once you got the plane in there, I am amazed at how large it is. Never enough like you said.
It's so wonderful to see all your ideas come to fruition!! Your videos are always great and this one totally made me cry cause I know how much you wanted this!!
Congratulations, Trent, on "completing" the hangar. We all know that such a thing is never "done," there are always refinements and tweaks down the road. But, you've reached this goal! Time to relax and enjoy . . . and start to plan the next goal. We're either moving forward or losing ground. So, solar roof panels, batteries, and taking the whole thing off grid? Airfield accessories? Fuel storage? Camera towers, drone signal boosters?
Solar is definitely on my radar when my wallet recovers from the build!
Also consider VAWT, a la Oy Windside for electric generation.
Goodbye hangar fees for life! What an excellent hangar, you are a lucky man having that at home. Now on to landscaping! I bet you could build some very nice gardens around the hangar.

Congratulations, Trent! Great to have friends like that. Enjoy!
Awesome Trent mate, well done and must feel so amazing. Awesome job to you and all those who helped out.

Pilatus PC-12 and a little longer strip and cut the grass those approch lights looked lost out there some wheree
Thanks for what we all have been waiting for Mr Palmer weldone
Huge congrats and Well Done Trent. It's been a long time coming and I'm glad to see the final result. Absolutely awesome!
Looks so nice Teent, great job, and way to show those garage door guys that there is a way to do things right, even though it wasn't perfectly made for your building.
Congratulations Trent !! My pilot Uncle did this decades ago and never regretted it (except doing it sooner). For the dirt ... maybe thrown down some basic crass or something similar to keep the dust to a minimum. Enjoy the fruits of your hard labor !!!
Your giving me ideas. Expensive ideas. My wife and I have been talking about doing this same thing... I need to find some land!
Congrats, Trent! Hard work pays off!
Can't beat that "water tight" feeling on a project like that. Congrats Trent! !! !!!
Congrats Trent on a fine looking hangar. A few things I thought that would help are putting a rubber threshold strip under the two larger doors to keep the bugs and water out and hang a Big Ass fan in the middle to cool it. Again, well done...

Gongrats from Finland. Your happines was easily felt over here. I'm thinking there is a party coming somewhere in the future 🎉
Living your best life man! I know there has been some turbulence on your route, but we can all see what's possible when the team has a common goal and is willing to roll up the sleeves! Congratulations Sir.👌
Well done, Trent! Freedom Fox looks PERFECT in the new hangar! 🤙🏼
I'm so happy for you as I've watched the progress of your own new home with enough property for a landing strip, and how a beautiful hangar as well. Congratulations--I"m very happy for you. Every Pilot's dream.

Your video quality has gotten so good that we are ready for "TRENT PALMER the MOVIE"
Nice you should get an internet enabled door remote. MyQ is cheap and works well. There are some homebrew and others. You can then open it as long as you have Internet.
Hardy congratulations on completion of your hanger. Very Happy for you and Haley. Benny Ward
Finally your own hangar👍
Love watching your videos from a different part of the world. Cant wait how the videos look like flying from your own house.
So awesome! Congrats on the finished hanger!
Super stoked for you Trent. Had the same excitement first time my hanger door opened under its own power. Even cried a bit I think.
What an AMAZING ACCOMPLISHMENT ! ! !
And it is BEEEEEEEEEEAUTIFUL both inside and out !
I think we are ALL is spectators are GREEN with ENVY !
And whoever said that, " Your hanger can NEVER be TOO BIG." is dead on !

Good job, Mr. P. Happy for you.
...kind of envious, too.
Awesome job with the hangar Trent!
I'll bet it's going to feel great to make full use of it.
So happy for you. This even made me smile! I love the shot with the Freedom Fox pulling right up front of the hanger.
Nice build Trent - Top notch as usual. I Just received my special airworthiness certificate on my Kitfox 5, so I'll be seeing you around in the upcoming years.
E little turbo single .... Even a high wing caravan would do nicely. Handle the tough ground. Looks great.
Hi Trent,
What an incredible project that came out beautiful.
It's great to see you be able to enjoy the fruits of your labor. You have put together everyone's dream that is in aviation.
Great job!
Take care,
Be safe.
Super, Trent! Thanks for sharing youe adventure with us. I am very happy for you!
Sweet. Having a hangar is the best. Having at home is the dream.
Congratulations on making your dream come true due to lots of hard work . Regards, Jim the Brit in NI UK
Smiling!
Great to see it done. Believing you will have many great years using it.
That is just such an amazing achievement. Well done Trent. Fantastic.
Lovely job, Trent. I'm looking forward to seeing how you transform the outside.
Don't forget the fire sprinkler system on the roof. I've watched your one about the fire scare you had.
Congratulations Trent! Looks great. Hard work pays off. .....Was that the XT3 on the tripod? Lol
Love the glass garage door, looks fantastic. Also really dig how involved you are in the build and not just someone paying others to do the work. Cool looking at the plane and other toys sitting in there.
Hey, make sure you use a good sealer on that floor and then paint it but color you want. So it won't leave oil spots.
Wow! - I've been watching through the entire home / garage build. I am amazed and your skills. Congratulations!
Very nice! Good Job. Now, it is time for a hanger party.
When is the fly-In for the hangar party??! Really nice job and much deserved pride in tackling it yourself with your friends and team.
Looks great Trent, hopefully you can find a solution to if the power goes out, you can still open that door (if you have a generator, no problem)
lamps on the lower half of the hangar door (just below the longitudinal hinge), when closed, illuminate the street near the hangar, and when the hangar door is open and in the upper folded state, they give a little light to the hangar...
Congratulations Trent! Awesome hanger you have there.
And now, you're also a Professional "garage door installer"!!
GOD Bless
I'm sure that's a great deal of satisfaction for you. Not having to travel anymore to go get your plane. Just walking out your door and taking off. Is congratulations, A job well done.
Congrats Trent! What a terrific hangar!
Awesome man!! Long time coming.... but you are there!!
Congrats!!
Thanks for sharing!
Congratulations! For some reason it feels great to see you fulfilling your dream!
You and your friends did some great work, you should be proud of yourselves 😊.
Trent, It looks great. I realize that there is more to do but you need to consider having a "small" fly in and invite all those who helped. Make sure you do a video of it and make stars of all who helped nd are ok being on RUclips. I am here in Houston considering building a building and am glad to know about Diamond Doors.
Do have a generator or battery backup to get that awesome door open if the power goes out?
Good to see this thing come together. I just spent a lot of time just setting up a power meter and panel to get service remotely on my wife's land. I was looking at running power back twice the distance we actually ran.... the cost was staggering.
You stuck with it, awesome achievement 😊 How many projects like this start, and never finish!! Never mind to such a high quality and innovative design. 👍👍
Looks great Trent, and Bravo on the door work and well all the rest of the hands on work you have done.
Living the dream! Thanks for taking us on the journey :)
Congratulation's Trent. That was a huge upgrade and project. Well done!!
Excellent job Trent! It’s been a joy watching your vision and hard work culminating in a beautiful hanger and shop! Was going to look for your plane at RARA but guess it will be at home? Perhaps I’ll see you there.
All you need now Trent is to find someone who produces plane tugs and see if they'd want to gift you a best tug for parking the Freedom Fox in the hanger, as your plane doesn't have reverse thrust.
Sweet Homestead Hanger Trent!!! Awesome Sauce of Great Times!!!
Good to see Mike Patey out there helping you install the Garage Door. I don't know how he finds the time.
This literally made me smile. Congratulations Trent. What a great feeling!
Congratulations Trent on getting a hanger done. Now, go get a reversing prop and you can part it like Mike Petey used to park his old Drako monster.
Run 1 "pvc tubing around the hangar for the compressed air line! You will be surprised how handy it becomes!
The perfect hangar...now build an aircraft..it's an immensely satisfying experience...and lay down a fairly sized concrete slab before the door..greetings from Iceland
Well Done!! Beautiful hanger and fits well with the house. Let me know when you are ready for cabinets I have a product that will fit great in the hanger.
Congratulations Trent! Looks like you could put a bunch of planes in there! So jealous! 😊
TP Fly-in in 3..2...
That is an absolutely sick shop/hangar! And yeah the Diamond Door is too cool. I love the bi-fold style because it gives you nice little awning and it's just out of the way completely.
Need an apron out side the shop to keep the out door material tire tracking in the shop. Killer hanger
