Roof roof down boy

 






Having to redo what was already done. Dalton is striping the delaminated fiberglass from the roof and bow. This time it will be done correctly. We met Luka, Dalton's husky when we were there last weekend. Beautiful dog, very well trained and did response to "down boy".

Tale of The Forlorn Yacht

Not so long ago, in a town far, far away in upstate New York some may say. Away in a dark, dank domicile a forlorn little yacht lay. Long forgotten by her maker, she laid in wait for someone to take her. This journey starts with a simple ad in the local Craigslist that stated  "Get Me Out Of Here! Any offers considered." Or something to that effect. Thus starting a process we may all regret. Spying this site from many states away in search of antique boats for which to play. Mr. E reached out to heed the call. Emails would come, emails would go, for weeks it seemed, with nary a call. Then one fateful night Gordon did call but it was not as easy as this at all. Not convinced his heart was true, more pleading he must do. Then came a call from Marguerite it seemed Mr. E might have the boat of his dreams.

  Just getting things ready to hook up. New 9 foot switch and throttle cables fitted.  New harness and everything is being routed to the engine.   Fridge is installed. Next to it will be the hot water heater. Behind the hot water heater will be a 10 gallon fresh water tank with 12 volt water pump that will supply a faucet. The butane stove will be stored under the counter top in the area above the fridge when not in use.

Lots of holes, lots of epoxy, lots of pegs, lots of measuring, lots of fitting, lots of work... This is the head door in progress. The cabin door is next but it is an open frame of 4SF (4 sides finished) of 2x6 and 2x4's that will house a small new old stock vintage aluminum single hung screened window and a drop panel in the bottom for the 5000 BTU window air conditioner unit. Shown here we are in the process of making it out of oak 4SF 2x6, 2x2, 1x16 and 1x12's and pegging it together. After it is epoxied it was clamped and held together for a couple days until dry. It is now very solid. The head door is a split design that will be held together in the middle with stainless spring loaded self closing hinges to make it operate as a solid door. When the door is opened it will swing into the hallway but would be too wi
