I'm thinking it would be a healthy thing for both of you to cut down on the coffee a little :)

I can't count the number of deadlines for things on my boat I've missed. Entire seasons included. The only surprise for oops is probably that it's not taking longer than it is...

HAHAHA Erik it the montain dew for mee !!! hahaha John

Re: hull extension in progress with picks

Nah. Don't need it for what I'm doing. Just need to know your timing so I can plan accordingly. I figure I can run the water line for the fridge to the cupboard, and put the fridge in place then run the lines and hook up the dishwasher, then I will be allowed to go out and watch the antics.

Guess I'm trying to get off at 4:30 or so.


that will work good tackel......im guessing we will flip around 5:30 ish......
love to see ya there if you can get away

Re: hull extension in progress with picks

Just curious oops, how old ( as in how many days) is the new paint? although the paint may seem dry, it may be very soft still and turning it over too soon and resting it on blocks/carpet/whatever may cause them to "imprint" the paint or even cause chemical staining-such as color leaching from carpet to paint. I would hate for you to have gone thru all that hard work in vain. Awesome job!

the paint is actually gellcoat.......a polyester based resin......tough as nails.....it has been over 2 weeks from re gellcoating.......so its fully cured......but.....the boat has never left the shop......so it has never been in the sun.....ever.....so the first thing i want to do is push the hull out side and let the sun get at it for a half an hour......just in case it needs uv to do anything. but right noe i could hit it with blunt object and not hurt it.
