So My rudder is assembled and ready for the match drilling of ribs. However the last month has been quite hectic with the holidays and winter approaching. I haven't been in the garage too much because the temperatures have been getting down to the 30's and 40's, making for a very cold work session. It's very difficult to work with fine motor skills at such low temperatures. I have been in the process of getting quotes to install a mini split into my garage so I can make the workshop reasonable. For those that don't know me, my attached garage is a 2.5 car garage and I prefer to avoid the flammable liquids/gases based systems. As a firemen, I have seen numerous occasions of Carbon Monoxide poisoning in homes where these types of heating systems do not operate properly or the room doesn't ventilate well. So I hope to have this heat settled in the next two weeks or so.
In other news, my wife has been on my case about getting her garage back for the winter. With the fear of winter snow coming, my wife would like to be able to park in the garage during a storm. As a result, I've been searching around for the best options for off site storage. Most of the storage solutions near me are fully packed or only have smaller units. After some searching and luck, I happened to come across a storage place who just actually had a tenant move out the day before. This allowed me to snag a larger unit which gives me room to grow as the plane gets larger. This also allows me to open up floor space as I build further into the project. So I am hoping to be back on the bandwagon shortly and get the rudder finished up.
