Project Fuggly - No Longer Fuggly And Splashed!!!!!!

[archbuilder]

Pat, the leaves aren't an issue, I don't have any trees around the hangar. Really the biggest issue is the stuff you track in. With the dew in the mornings, the dead grass is a pain. Realistically you have to do a big cleaning of everything, and wet the floor right before paint.

Hey Arch, I was using the leaves as an example of the wind blowing back into my garage. after seeing how far outside the tunnel goes I would see no need for a filter. any dust will blow clear and any paint will be dry before it is half way through the wind tunnel. I'd trip over the tunnel though. an idea for you regarding the tunnel. Maybe try and find a couple of those kids tunnels that are basically a spring with fabric on it. they would fit the bill collapsible wise and they were made of plastic type material I believe.

Maybe just add a second tunnel up high ... A flex duct would give you the flexibility to bring it down under the door ...
Just stinking ....

my house now that I have said that. Just to make it easy for them to find me, my name is Woodonglass and I live in Tulsa<~~ funny **** rt there had coffee coming out of my nose , wasn't prepared

I agree Mick. I laughed out loud and my wife gave me a look.

6 o'clock news will go something like this...Tulsa man was arrested today after the EPA raided his hanger. Witnesses claim he was repeatedly saying, "I just retired, I can paint your boat with tractor paint" over and over. no further details are available at this time. The EPA found an unusual amount of half done projects and they have confiscated his computer for further analysis. Apparently they were tipped off by a little know boating Web site and are combing through each of his posts as we speak. Wood is apparently free on bail and is vowing to fight these fuggly <sp> charges. he also mentioned a link on how to build stringers???

And also "Paint your boat for less then $100 dollars, Say What!!!"

 

[Woodonglass]

They'll never take me without my paint guns!!!! Acetone is a Dangerous thing in the hands of an Old Dumb Okie!!!!

A little acetone in the eyes would go a long way in an escape attempt ...

 

[archbuilder]

LOL! He will probably also mutter ....."Damn Sooner!"

Well tonight I got most of the prep work done. Swept out the paint booth, re-mask off everything, sanded the spot primer and wiped the boat down with a clean rag and water. After that I had ribs......Dad cooked about 30 sides today, its hard to beat his ribs! If everything goes according to plan I will shoot color tomorrow.

Hey Sam I actually like the exhaust low, it kind of helps to push out dirt and particals that fall to the floor.

Pat I haven't seen those kids tunnels, but that sounds like a nice solution. Post a link if you find one.

looking forward to seeing the results Arch! That DIY booth is pretty bitchin! Envious that you have the space to do that all indoors like that. So awesome. Hope it all goes smoothly for you tomorrow!!

Here you go Arch. if you don't like these colors, you can apparently get a castle motif or even multi colored unicorns. lol

 

[archbuilder]

Thanks Woe, it is nice to have the hangar and the booth has worked out well so far.

I'll have to look into those Pat. I was thinking of something that could colapse for the tunnel, but haven't seen those before.

Just don't let the neighborhood kids seem them. If they do you might walk into the paint booth one day and find a whole herd of munchkins crawled into the booth and started climbing all over Fuggly.:embarassed:

And making boat engine sounds as they are driving the boat. Broom Broom Broom...

Walmart sells the tunnels but...They're only 6ft long.

 

[archbuilder]

No kidos today but I did get some paint on. I had a few issues, but close enough....some sanding and buffing will take care of most of them. Here is the eye candy....

 

[Tnstratofam]

Nice!

It looks like the paint booth worked well.

 

[sphelps]

As expected ! Awesome stuff as usual !!
Something about that color is very cool !!
