John, it is looking great - from here, you just keep buying new dust masks & reams of sandpaper for a month or two !! Sanding is a real pain in the ass, but the rewards are big - you just don't see them too quickly ! I resigned myself to it & treated it all a bit like basket-weaving - keeps the hands busy & the mind numb !
BTW, I like the look of your HUGE garage (or is it a hangar) - if I squint a bit, I am sure that I can see a helicopter rotor, part of a Gulfstream & part of a 707. Are sure your surname is Schneider, not Travolta ? !!
Kind Regards,
Peter D.
