Had a Cessna 172 come in last Thursday with a gear-up landing, the whole week just went downhill from there.
The pilot was fine, thank goodness, but the plane was a mess. We're a small shop, just three of us, and this one job ate up four straight days. Had to pull the engine for inspection, replace the prop, fix the belly skins, the whole nine yards. The owner kept calling every two hours asking if it was done yet. By Friday afternoon, my back was killing me from being under that fuselage all week. Anyone else feel like one big job can just wreck your whole schedule and morale?
