: Nice. At least you've got a workshop right now. I've opted to put
: off the start of my Sea Tour 15 EXP... driving three hours to
: Mom's barn to build it was feasible, but only slightly crazy.
: Oddly enough, people seem ready to declare me crazy simply for
: building the kayak. If I mention the workshop's three hours
: away, they simply dismiss it. Maybe their mind's just trying to
: cope with the concept of building something instead of buying
: it. *helpless shrug*
: Anyway, the other deterrent: Mom's renting the barn out. Makes it
: kinda difficult to build a kayak when someone else is paying for
: the space. She has mentioned that I'm free to go through Dad's
: tools and take my pick. I'm hoping she's willing to part with
: the drill press, table saw, and a few other pieces... it'd make
: ripping those stringers and cutting the formers easier. I don't
: know how much use she'd get out of them.
: As things work out, the wife and I are actually picking up a house,
: with a full basement. No windows that are kayak sized, but
: there's a straight line stairway leading down. Door at the top
: of the stairs, directly across the door to the garage. That'll
: fit a kayak ;o).
: So thanks for the reminder that I ought to watch where outlets are.
: I'd love to see pics, too... just trying to get some ideas about
: how I want the basement organized.
Hi Noel,
Well right now it's "the land of cardboard" , darned near everything is in boxes. Yesterday had to go out and buy a 3/4" spade drill to drill holes for the wire, I've got probably 5 sets of these drills, in a box, somewhere :)
Can't even think of the boat till I have the shop at least somewhat under control, then I'll happily post pictures :)
Actually in some ways your house will be easier than mine. While I can easily get the boats in and out, getting a piece of drywall into the basement is a real trick. All the OSB board I had cut at Lowes to half sheets so I could get them in the basement. Actually got the first half of the OSB, 7 sheets cut into 14 4x4's, still need to go back for the other 7. That's alot of trips down the stairs.
Bill H.
