Summer building in Texas garage
« on: June 04, 2011, 01:29:01 PM »
I can't saw, sand, or paint in the house and it's 100 degrees in the garage.  I'm getting withdrawal symptoms from building!  I could a spare bedroom into a shop, but I would really miss my wife!   How do you build in the Texas heat without an air-conditioned shop?

I suppose the same way you build in Seattle in the winter without heat. Carefully.

On the bright side, your epoxy will cure promptly and thoroughly.

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

I live in Allen, just south of McKinney.  I haven't got a plane to fly yet, but soon....I have been building in the morning and evening and it hasn't been too bad.  Good fan helps a lot.
