hello allan,
don't most college students have the quint-essential mini-fridge lurking somewhere about the dorm room? i'd like to suggest the best tool for your boat is will be the mini-fridge. relocate to the garage and keep it well stocked....then reward yourself after every construction phase. my personal favorite is the ibc brand of cream soda... for every five degrees over 80 the satisfaction quotent goes up by at least 10-15 %.
build on,
brett the hitman hart
