Inventory

Haven't been slacking on the airplane, just on blogging!  Been conducting an inventory and studying the plans.

Bringing It All Back Home

Bearhawk is in the truck.  Should reach home base today.

Ramps and Pulleys

Last few days have been spent making arrangements for the trip to Montana, and the inspection, disassembly, loading, and stowage of the aircraft once we get there.

Also convincing ourselves it's a good idea to cross the Monida pass in January in a 24-foot Budget truck.

Blogger Issues

Having trouble posting from my phone.  But hangar paint is almost completely dry.

Painted!

Spent two hours painting the remainder of the hangar floor.


We will come back later to touch up with brushes.


Looks really good!

More Floor Painting

The whole family returned to put down another gallon of Glidden Antique Silver. We painted a walkway next to the door to facilitate egress when we are painting the entrance next time.

We also used a special primer to prepare the central area previously subjected to oil drips. We will paint there next.

Project time unknown but probably at least 2.5 hours, including moving furniture beforehand.

Also, I have been working on repair of the tamper mentioned in the last post. We are almost ready for the interference fit of the handle into the head.

Landlord Wrangling

Went to the airport office to file proof of liability insurance and request repairs/upgrades. Mixed success. The door may get fixed tomorrow but I was told the dust curtain is a "cosmetic" issue and therefore not the city's bailiwick. The ceiling vent may get installed before Jan. 11 if they can find a better contractor.
