: Unfortunately I'm not allowed to start another boat 'til I get a few other
: jobs done around the house..

Man does that sound familiar. My first boat got delayed while I ... refinished the kitchen cabinets, gutted & renovated the bathroom, tore out a beat up old asphalt driveway & replaced it with interlocking stone, tore out a ratty old steel grape arbour & replaced it with a wood one (that, at least, was cedar), and ... oh yeah ... reshingled the garage (after that one I hired someone to reshingle the house). I have now gotten as far as beginning to strip the hull, but I have a delay while I strip old wallpaper, repair lousy plaster job underneath, & repaint a hall. It never ends.

Cheers;
Ken
