Ed,
I'm an A&P with an IA, so my labor is virtually free. My therapy is working on the plane, so I will most likely comply with the SID. I also have access to an eddy current tester and am a Level 1 NDI in several disciplines.
When I bought my plane, it was a project, and I actually dye penned the wing and strut attach points before I mated the wings and booms on. I was being pro-active as the airplane was approaching 3,000 hours on it and all of it was in Southeast Asia area of operations. I also replaced all of the attach hardware, wing and strut bolts, and boom attach structural hardware.
