For the unlucky builders that lack heated garages and have wives that lay down the law(no building inside), the depths of winter can be tough indeed. Six inches of snow and 25 degree oat's are what Robert Pirsig would call a gumption trap. It would certainly be easy to fire up the PS3 and warm the couch cushions for the rest of winter, but this airplane won't build itself.
Building in the freezing cold is never fun, and neither is sanding fiberglass, but for some reason when I combine these two events it becomes a Zen like experience. The cold is wearing down my sense of touch, while at the same time I am intensly concentrating on the feel of the glass, searching for epoxy runs that aren't visible to the eye. I almost enjoy these winter ops sanding sessions.
