Ok starting to cover grinding area P1250001_zps6aa66928.jpg P1250002_zpsfe714295.jpg P1250003_zps239c262c.jpg P1250004_zpsfcff340b.jpg My cousin lent me these zip poles all my years in construction I have never used them. They work really well
I am waiting for my filter rack to be done so the grinding can commence

Zip poles work great for temp walls, a lot of my contractors use them with either drop cloths or plastic. Where are you going to set up the exhaust? The most effective way would be to close off the ceiling to create negative pressure. I played around with mine a few times before going to Depot and getting a 20' x 100' of 6 mil and covering the entire area with one piece to avoid air leaks. Is the boat backed in with bow towards the garage door? I am going to the shop tonight and will take a vid of my set up, I can help you so that you would have zero dust or smell in your garage and no glass dust clouds while your working. I only live 25 min from you and would even give you the remainder roll to do it, looks like we're both at the same stage of the project, I only have a day left of the grind. It's all about setting up your negative & positive air.

Thanks kc Yeah its time I started
I appreciate the offer sc248 but I already have plastic. My plan is to put the exhaust at the stern and exhaust outside of the garage through a filter rack and filter bag. My dust collector does 700 cfm so I thought the few small open areas will let the air draw in from the top and out through the rear. Stern is at the door. I would like to see the video when you get it. Why haven't you started a thread.

Just haven't had time, been slammed with work this past few months but I've been documenting the progress, was thinking of doing a closed thread to give a step by step on how I'm doing it.

24 inches in basically 3 days not record setting but enough. And the good thing for me the guys with plow trucks keep breaking them. And I fix them that's what pays for the boat. This week one guy brought me 2 with broken differentials.
Yes snow in the winter and mud in the spring. Hated that when I was primarily outside.
I like looking at it I don't know about snow boarding lol
