Chicken or the Egg? Hangar or Plane first?

After spending money every year on trim tab hinges, water damage and
corrosion, I am glad to finally be inside. The cost of a paint job every
5 years is only a small part of the cost of being tied down outside.

Indeed. Preflying the plane inside a hangar is much more pleasant.
Maintenance is easier, the windows last longer, less chances of
thieves stealing your radios, etc.
