Re: hull extension in progress with picks

After all that work you need to change color to something dark and glossy to show of how straight and smooth this thing will be. A nice navy would look great. It'd be a show car look.

actually the bottom of the boat will be a deep navy blue......the theme of the boat will allow it to have that car show look ! :)

Boy, I wish I knew how to do Flash, I'd have that oompa loompa running around with a long board giggling like a mad man :D

Only one word is needed to describe you right now ward...

Tenacity.

Your commitment to this boat is unbelievable, I'd have been sitting on the fence deciding whether or not the effort would be worth it...you mixing those Coronas with Bawls or Red Dog ?!;)

Re: hull extension in progress with picks

little kafuffle last night........

when i finally got to the boat at 8 pm.....he was just leaving......with out checking by feel or looks......he had it in his mind to "do the side" .....well he took a sander to the side i had just done by hand.....wrecked all eight hours of longboarding work. sooooooo i re hit the same side i did the night before....after 3 hours of sweating.....i called it a night and went home....its not as good as it was the other night....it still needs more work, so tonight....more boarding......

i didnt get pics last night....because it was redundant....but mabe ill take a pic of the blisters on my hands......(bilsters right thru the mechanics gloves i wear for sanding)

cheers

There is some truth to the saying "If you want it done right you have to do it yourself".

Sorry man, how disappointing.

Cripes. At this point I'd give a lot of thought to asking him to stay away from the boat. Seems like he's just causing a lot of problems.

You're a patient man.

Man Oops

Once you're finished that baby, you're gonna be able to say "This is MY boat" and mean it in a way that very few others could.

Hang in there, we're rooting for you!

Re: hull extension in progress with picks

I think I'd politely explain to him that you spent 8 hours cleaning that side up only to have him come in and ruin it ( you have pictures and scores of fans to back you up ) and that you need a better line of communication if this is going to continue forward. If he is your bud, he'll understand and put some extra effort into doing this in a top notch fashion...as this boat deserves, afterall- that's what it's been getting up to this point.

I really don't want to make a murderous oompa loompa dancing around the screen stuffing fiberglass dust down his pants so hard it's coming out his socks. :rolleyes:
