Thanks everyone! Got a few items that I'd missed, and a couple of good laughs too.

I see you're in Atlanta, so you might as well start looking on Craigslist now for a ginormous fan. For heat, I got one of the propane infrared heater from harbor freight back in November. The kind that screws on the top of a grill tank, $30 before coupon I think. Of course it never really got cold, so I don't know how well it heats the hangar, but it definitely feels like it should help, especially if it's close-by.

I think I've dodged the bullet on cold this year. It was only really cold (by Atlanta standards) one weekend out there this year so far.

Aeroshell 6 in a grease gun for the C/S.
Flashlight and mirrors.
Whatever you like for grabbing screws that invariably fall/roll out of reach.
Patience.

like the one that did yesterday behind the fuel tank inside the wing :-( Luckily I was able to borrow a tool across the taxi way and fish it out. :-)
What grease for the tail wheel fork? 22? Sounds like I need 2 grease guns. I used to have a collection of them, but they don't store well.
When I unpacked my storage unit into the hangar I also found out that Halloween pumpkins also don't store well even if you pack them in a large plastic tub with all your Halloween and Xmas decorations for a few years :-(

One more thing that I didn't see I the lists above: dental picks. Useful for getting lead deposits out of spark plugs, and small things out of tiny spaces. My dentist gave me a bundle of various sizes and shapes from his "used" pile a while ago, they've been incredibly useful.

Yeah those have been a useful part of my tools for years. Someone also picked me up some other older medical implements at a flea market. Some of them are fearsome looking, and I think when the parts see those scary looking tools coming they just give up and comply right away!!!
I have all sorts of hemostats, various sorts of clamps, spreaders, mirrors, and other things I can only wonder what they are for :-)
