Hello there. I was sitting here this AM feeling sorry for myself because what was supposed to be a quick paint job and finish some things put off for the last 23 years and put up a For Sale sign has turned into a full fledged renovation at our shack. They sent 17 cabinets of 18 cabs for the kitchen, the only one missing is the sink cab, 3 weeks ago. Tough to put together a new kitchen without the kitchen sink. It must be coming from Viet Nam because they could have felled a tree here and built it from that for the length of time it's taking to get here. So here I sit in my little spot because I am surrounded by boxes of cabs, millwork piled, new flooring under it all, not sure exactly where, all my tools on folding tables, a piece of 2X8 for a countertop and living with 1 small bathroom sink and a microwave. And I bought the wrong paper plates says the lady I work for, I bought the smeltable Styrofoam kind. So what's that got to do with my mess at a Lake Erie shack in Ontario and a young Buck in Pa. redoing a Bayliner? (I would swear you have a Canadian accent). I read some restoration threads and I realize I don't have it so bad after all. Keep up the good work, you are going to have a very nice looking, but most importantly well built boat by the time you are done. I see a wedding ring and a pretty in pink little tyke running around. Your wife must love you kid and most important understand your madness. I bet you had a shop big enough to keep the boat in as well as all your tools, nice and dry and hopefully warm this winter when you are almost done. (Yep being an old smart butt.) My buildings are all full of "staging furniture and stuff" can't find a single fishing rod in it all. I have to go out and spend more money we don't have at Lowes. Won't deal with Homeless Despot, another long story but that's where she bought the kitchen. I'm barred from them for life World wide. By the way my coping saw doesn't work either.
