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.

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.



Good luck

Stewarts is a great product! I used it totaly on my Mark 3 c. My wife and I did all covering and uv painting in the house during winter months.We also have double doors on the house so we were able to carry the plane in or out.Their glues are nontoxic and there is no need to even turn off the furnace.It is a great way to keep working during the cold months.Easy to use,highly recomend.Received airworthyness a year ago this month.

In my garage my radiators are out of order and now it is impossible to work because it is very cold. Do you have any ideas?

I have a Kerosun heater that runs about 24 hours on less than a gallon of kerosene, minimal odor, keeps the garage pretty warm.

Hello Richard,



Thanks for the tip on your heater. I am glad to say that spring is trying to show up here, and I hope to fire up the Kolbra soon.

I also work a lot in the garage, as I have equipped it as a workshop. I have a lot of clients and have appointments for several months in advance. I couldn't stop the work process, so I immediately thought about all the options. If my radiators fail, I will immediately use a radiators like this to solve the problem. I also insulated the garage with a special coating on the roof and walls, so I could work in comfort.
