Been working on the new boat project:

- cut an inspection hatch into the stern deck, found the wood in there wet but not rotten (phew)  it's drying out now with the help of a hot air blower.
- Cleaned up the area where the old daggerboard was affixed to the cockpit floor with my trusty dremmmel.
- continued putting several layers of epoxy on the wood I rescued.
- removed old rubber and metal on the hull
- fitted new drain holes and piping
- sanded the topsides and repaired all the patches of broken gelcoat.

tomorrow:

- cut transom and fair it into shape, then epoxy it to death
- fair repairs on topsides
- paint topside
- build new daggerboard box
- fibreglass and epoxy paste new daggerboard into place
- fit transom


Then all I have to do is fair and paint the hull in a 2-pack epoxy paint

The wife gets back from Hawaii on wednesday, what do you reckon she will say?

"I love the smell of epoxy in the mornings!"

Due to the temperature outside I have been doing most of the epoxy work on the kitchen floor using lots of grease proof paper.... stinks in there.  Take-out again tonight!

Epoxy stains on all the door-handles, the phone, the fridge and the taps?
....She`ll have your guts for garters!;D

Thankfully not but there is a wooden stirer stuck to the glass top of the oven....time to get the chisel out
