Taylorcraft progress

I got off to a slow start on my restoration project because I had to first build a shop in my backyard so I'd have room to do the airplane.  The shop building is just barely big enough, 16' X 24'.  I can work on one wing at a time, or I can work on the fuselage if I move everything else out of the building.  It took about 3 months to complete the shop.  I put insulation in the walls but left the ceiling open so I could store materials in the rafters.  I have 2500watts of electric heat and 4 windows on the south side.  The east side has a 8' X 7' garage door facing a brick face "patio".
