Sorry if the footage seems boring.  Watching me sand off paint for 10 hours straight probably isn't the most interesting thing to look at, but it will give you a better understanding in what's involved.  Of course you'll have to imaging it going a LOT slower, so just be happy I'm not showing these videos in real time.

Speaking of bored, I decided to multi-task a bit as I'm sanding by listening to some audio books as I go.  It took me a while to get started this hour since I was trying to figure out the best way to play the book while I was sanding. I discovered that in order to have the volume loud enough to hear over the sound of the sandpaper, that I would definitely need to bother my in-laws upsatirs.  Hence, I resorted to headphones.

On another note, although I can sometimes be seen wearing a Budweiser baseball cap while I'm working on my plane (or in this case a Dr. Seus cap) I'm not intentionally plugging any products here!  The temperature in the garage has been around 75-80° F, so while I'm getting my sanding workout I tend to drip sweat all over the surface.  The hat is simply a way to keep the glass dry!  I swear. 

Finally, while I was moving the fuselage out away from the wall for sanding, I heard a sloshing sound coming from the main tank!  When I cleared all of the fuel tubing from the front of the cockpit, I ntoiced the destinct smell of 100LL AVGAS.  However, I assumed that it was just fumes left over from the plumbing and manual fuel bulb.  However, now I'm starting to think I might have a few gallons of fuel and/or water in the Main Tank! 

My next task will be to drain all of that fuel out and figure out what to do with it!  Maybe I can sell it to the neighbor for his lawn mower.  It's probably appreciated in value quite a bit over the last few years!
