Hope everyone had a good one!

Twas as good as it gets, thanks Eric.
So talk about crap days. Ha ha like yours lately….
I've been maneuvering my 450 lb outboard the last week or two by myself to hang on transom. As seems has been your fate as of late the smack ass thing/engine hoist hit a bad pc. of wood and sank and let the whole unit roll over.
Of course I was by myself, 1st mistake trying to make it work and I knew it in the back of my mind. Couldn't count on help ya see.
Chucker started to list and I had to jump out of the way and did some stupid and safe ninja roll. This time not breaking my already broken ribs from 9 weeks ago.
Also camera isn't working.
Going to rethink this whole approach...almost took a sledgehammer to it. Still may.
Just nasty nasty nasty says I

Got the 500 lb. piggy back up and on the lift. Covered up cause here we got low temps now, rain and possible snow/ice.
Looked out the cowl and got some cracks but nothing I can't repair. Mechanicals are intact.
I'll prep everything I need for a quick hang but this time have some muscle to help out.
At this pont I'm going to focus on interior work. Really like the cover and get heat from 30 deg. to 80 in 1 beer.
Going to make open face turkey, stuffing, gravy, tom. and cheese sandwiches and watch the EAGLES. yEA!

Good Day! 20 deg here. Got the boat up to 90 deg. Did a lot of pb on gaps to prep for glass. Liking working with the cold weather. Lets me add little more part to to the resin for a faster cook but the temps let me have more time to apply.
Then work interior temps up to set off catalyst.
Pics attached.

Aaaaaaaalmost done... lol


Nice cat there!
Mine does not know what to do with the temps here. Sun 20 deg. today 60 deg?.... I like the fireplace.
Looks like you hired a pretty good contractor. Angies list?
Looks like the big screen going in above the hearth. NNNNNNNNIIICCCEEE! What's the liner you used? Self venting type?
Propane, gas or real wood burning?
Did a lot more filets and their is a lot left to do....filets. Temps are nuts. Now I'm using the "thick" epoxy I bought by mistake awhile back. Still works the same just need to get the cabosil to the right texture/thickness for overhead/vertical joints.
Pics attached.
