Nice work! Your need to establish and maintain the infrastructure supporting your build reminds me of books I've read about the Wright Bros. The needed to establish a functioning camp in the sand fly-infested, wind blown sand dunes of Kitty Hawk. When they'd leave and return after several months, they'd have to practically start over by rebuilding the camp.
Like you, they also brought more than smarts to the job. It takes tenacity, endurance, strength, experience and ingenuity to succeed. Looks like you've got it all in spades!

Thanks a lot, Al. I was happily ignorant of this only moments ago. I might as well just crawl into my lazarette and slam the hatch.
Can't deny that Rick has them in spades, though.

Gonna buy some cheap sheeting ply and put in some temporary decks.
Making head way.Frame A and D now tabbed to the hull. I ran out of glue (epoxy & wood flour w/little cabosil) so ordered more. I hope to drop Frame F in tomorrow. That's the front part of the main cabin. Will have to build stairs over the engine space and down into the forward cabin. Engine should be finished soon.
Standby.....
I'd call that good score. A little extra money and two nice size coolers.
Don't feel bad about not fitting the MRI machine, I don't fit either. They used an open air MRI. It takes longer but gets the job done. I often wonder the same thing as well. Why the heck do we have to go in head first for a lower spine image?
Good to see you getting ready to get back at it!
What's that white stuff in your boat shed? Looks like something you would see in an old style freezer.

Happy to hear from you, Rick. I thought your back issues had taken over the build.
