In Response To: Adverse Building Conditions (Jack)

I live in upstate NY. I built my Chesapeake 18 in my 19 ft by 12 ft living room in my apartment on the second floor. No, I can't get the yak out the front door. and yes, i had to climb under it for about 6 weeks while it was up on sawhorses in front of the door.

nonetheless, i take it through the kitchen, off the patio, yell down to my kayak moving partner to catch the tip as it drops and then hold on to the end of the boat real tight. set my end on the floor of the patio, run downstairs, help boost the end off the patio, and then carry it over our heads until its clear of the covered 2nd floor patio. not a fun process at all but i did get it built. now for a stripper this winter.

i did just move into a ground floor apt that is about the same size living room but obviously the exit of the boat is alot easier and i can move it to the car by myself.
