After four days, we finally made it above freezing yesterday...warm enough to snow. :) Went out to the shop and it was still a very chilly 42 degs, apparently my shop didnt get the memo that it was warming up! I really thought about not doing any work and blowing it off. Its easy to say, "I'll just wait until it warms up." But, in the back of my mind I thought, conditions arent always going to be ideal for a work session. If this thing is going to get finished I have to "press on". So with that mantra to guide me...and with the help of a small space heater I was able to get the temp up to 56 degs, plenty warm enough for a work session. In no time I was having a good time (yes, even with ProSeal!) and humming to the 80's music pumping out of the shop stereo. When it comes right down to it, most of the time working on my plane really is relaxing to me, its the "great escape" from reality.
It was time to start the tank ProSeal process again...yes, for the third time. I back riveted the tank stiffeners and riveted the fuel cap filler into place before I used up my 44 gram batch of ProSeal. Next session: fuel drain fitting, plug the extra rib holes with rivets and then start on the ribs.
