Since last weekend, and during the week, Joseph has been able to work on the left wing. The fairing is now blended into the wing, and now its time to fill any lows and level the area around the airbrake box. 
The wing has slight low areas and the top surface is getting smooth.
But while he was working on the surface, I mentioned that the wing spar fork stubs need to be inspected.
Robert walked in just in time to take a look at it. There was some slight rust on the surface of the spar fork stub fitting.
Robert referenced TN201-31 and found that the stub fittings will need to be inspected. Joseph removed the glass and Robert found that the fittings just needed to be cleaned up, chromite coated and then re-glassed. That was good news, these did not need to be replaced.
The right wing still needs to be looked at.
Another winter storm has hit and bought a stop to the work since Joseph needs to drive through the pass to get to Moriarty.
This weekend, we will need to see what Mother Nature still has to dish out!
