From: "GeoB" I have been working on relocating to a cooler climate, less urban, etc. I will either buy a place with a nice large-ish workshop or I will build one. I need to recover my Firestar and have been waiting for the workshop, but it looks like it won't happen till next summer. While I have some people staying in my home (I am a widower) I noticed that the formal 'parlor' gets almost zero use. I have a large living room that is used a lot, and a sort of rumpus room the kids play in. I am thinking of moving the nice furniture out or stacking it and recovering my wings in there. I will be using the Stewart's System so there shouldn't be too much odor in the house. That sound right to you? I can block off the traffic, and seal the room off with plastic if necessary. Double-door access and plenty of space. Any thoughts on this? I am emptying my garage but I would need to insulate it and heat it to work in there. -------- GeoB "Members of Congress should be compelled to wear uniforms like NASCAR drivers, so we could identify their corporate sponsors" Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=387144#387144 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 02:23:06 AM PST US From: "Pat Ladd" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: work inside home? I am thinking of moving the nice furniture out or stacking it and recovering my wings in there. > No prob. I had a mate who did a lot of work on an Auster including recovering the wings. Of course the wings stuck into the garden and he couldn`t close the patio doors all winter. The engine was on the dining room table. His wife divorced him and the kids went to boarding school. Apart from that it was quite straightforward.
