A little progress

The past week was just chilly and wet....no fun to work in the unheated hangar. So, we mostly did not! Then we took a short trip up to the mountains for my grandma's 98th birthday party and sadly, Duane's uncle's funeral. Today we got a good bit accomplished, not a lot of it was very photogenic though! Duane's been working on some wiring and installing new clearance lights. I've done some small item cleaning/rust removal/painting. I braved removing a window too! We've decided all the windows need to come out and be re-sealed/reinstalled to make sure they are not leaking. It's actually a pretty straightforward task.




Just a bunch of screws and the window slides out.  Leaving the existing, gooey sealant to be removed.



And the window itself has to be cleaned up too.  Here the new grey sealant tape is in place right at the edges.  The window fits right back where it was and hopefully will be leak-free for years!
