Brief Description:  Cleaned up the fuselage and prepared to restart co

Well it's finally getting closer to the point of restarting work. I promised myself that I would after the first of the year and I'm doing what I can to stick to that. Been difficult as we have had lots of subzero weather here over the last couple weeks. I still do not have insulation in my ceiling at the shop so heat goes right out the top. All the finished walls have a combination of spray on foam and about 8" of blown in insulation and the ceiling will eventually have about 10" of blown in. I figure it's costing me about $3 an hour to run the furnace and 70,000 BTU can't compete against -11F in a shop this size with no ceiling insulation. The shop kitty is finally getting close to the point where I can get that problem taken care of at least. I also finally got the security and automation system installed. Makes me feel more comfortable that when the alarm is armed it shuts off things like the well, compressor, lights, and the main heat. No more worrying about busted pipes or a run away compressor.

So I was able to clean up the aircraft parts which really was the last step before restarting. After all the construction, and before I got the building sealed up, there was lot's of dust and a few mice wanted to check it out closer. I pulled all the panels and poked and prodded with a mirror and a flashlight. Other than some mouse crap here and thereeverything looked good. Everything was vacuumed and I still need to wipe down a couple things.
