In response to a reader inquiry, I am going to post a cost-breakdown (Thanks to the builder Vic Coletta) for the construction of the Aircraft Hangar.

As I had stated in my last post of Aug-21-2006 Aircraft Hangar Building-01 in St Clair Michigan, this Aircraft Hangar is a Metal Building 80 ft span and 80 ft wide. This hangar building is for Huron Avionocis, and the front of the hangar building houses the office and radio service facility.

Back in January of 2006, I had presented the design of foundation I have earlier presented a few pictures of this aircraft hangar building.

The Aircraft Hangar is 80'x80'x24' Manufactured Metal Building and was erected on the concrete foundation that I had designed for the building. Following is a brief cost break-down.

Major Items ItemCost Notes / Remarks
------------------------------- ---------- --------------------
80'x80'x24' Steel Building Delivered
With 60'x18'Clear Opening Bi-Fold Door $78,000
and R-13 Insulation for Walls and Roof
------------------------------- ----------
Concrete Foundation with Drawings $21,700 these costs are for hangar only
and all Necessary Anchor Bolts and do not include
------------------------------- ---------- 20% Profit and $17000
4" Concrete Floor with Fibermesh $18,000 Labor Allowance for Erection
------------------------------- ----------
Electrical -- 16 Lights, General Plugs $14,200
------------------------------- ----------
Heating -- 3 Nos 125,000 BTU Radiant Heat Tube $6,500
------------------------------- ---------- --------------------

This is a shot of part of the building from inside. The finish on the inside is very nice. Both the walls and the underside of the roof are insulated ... Picture 1

Why is another country always building things for us. This is a security issue. Are we children?

Great nation of proud culture and people led by goats.How else can we explain the fact that our leaders,ALL THIRD REPUBLIC LEADERS have become experts in begging,charity package chasers and petty loans seekers.Every time a Ghanaian any where in the world see,hear or read of our leaders coming to town there are several things that are guaranteed.1.THEY ARE IN TO BEG FOR SOME KIND OF MEANINGLESS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE 2.THEY ARE NEVER GOING TO PAY VISIT TO THE INDUSTRIAL FIELDS (e.g Farms,Processing Factories) WHICH MADE THAT COUNTRY A SUCCESS STORY3THEY ARE GOING TO SIGN CONTRACTS WHICH SINK US DEEPER INTO POVERTY.4THEY ARE GOING TO INVITE THE HOST TO BRING JOBS TO GHANA.Even minor projects that should be done by Ghanaian companies have been are sitting awaiting some foreign to feel disgusted enough by our leaders laziness and lack of vision to come and do it for us.THEN WE HAVE THE NERVE TO PROTEST WHEN THEY FEEL ENTITLED TO DICTATE TO US WHOM OUR SEX PARTNERS SHOULD BE.Wake up Ghana.We have pushed this disturbing and degrading behavior far enough.I know for a fact that there Ghanaian engineers,Farmers,Managers,Doctors etc here and abroad who are more than capable to provide these services like the professional fooballers do.IT IS TIME TO SAY ENOUGH TO ALMS,AND CHARITY PACKAGES AND GO TO WORK OURSELVES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR BELOVED NATION.LONG LIVE GHANA.

FOR THE BENEFIT OF THOSE WHO HAVE NO IDEA OF WHAT A HANGAR IS...........

A hangar is a closed structure to hold aircraft or spacecraft in protective storage. Most hangars are built of metal, but other materials such as wood and concrete.........

So, it happens that none of our educated illiterates like architects, engineers, constructors etc. etc. can put up a HANGAR???????

What is the point of our education which produces professionals? If at the end of it all, projects are being handed over to foreigners???? How stupid can we be? What is wrong with us? Is it all about enriching one's selves? What about the future of OUR CHILDREN?

How come Nkrumah and Kutu Acheampong managed to use OUR OWN professionals to build both Tema City (and many more others) and Dansoman Estates respectively? What has gone wrong? If we claim to have moved forward is that what it is about?

OH! GHANA? I CRY MY BELOVED COUNTRY!!!
CAN'T WE SEE WHAT WE ARE DOING TO OURSELVES??????? I JUST DON'T GET IT!

GOD BLESS GHANA!
AFRICAN FOREVER!

BRAZILIAN LOANS ARE EXPORT CREDITS AIMED AT PROMOTING BRAZILIAN EXPORTS. THESE EXPORT CREDITS ARE GIVEN TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES ON THE IMPORTANT CONDITION THAT BRAZILIAN COMPANIES EXECUTE THE PROJECTS FOR WHICH THE CREDITS ARE PROVIDED. THAT IS THE SIMPLE EXPLANATION. IF WE ARE NOT HAPPY WITH THIS KIND OF LOANS WE MUST LEARN TO MANAGE OUR OWN RESOURCES PROPERLY AND EXECUTE DESIRED PROJECTS WITH OUR OWN RESOURCES BY OUR LOCAL CONTRACTORS. THE HANGAR UNDER CONSTRUCTION IS NOT A SIMPLE "AROPLANE GARRAGE" AS SOME IGNORAMUSES BELIEVE. SUCH IGNORAMUSES SHOULD EXERCISE PATIENCE UNTIL THE PROJECT IS EXECUTED FOR THEM TO UNDERSTAND WHY IT COSTS US$17 MILLION.

It's obvious you are in bed with the government. If you see no sense in what I was driving at......then I guess you one the educated illiterates (no offence please) who see no good in their own human existence and buy into all the jargon thrown at them.

Do you know what US$17M can do? What a shame - all you ignorant lot are allowed to write on this forum.
Please come back to me when you emancipate yourself from MENTAL SLAVERY.............

GOD BLESS GHANA!
