Re: Well I did it now!
Well it has been hard for me to get going that is for sure. I just cannot handle the cold like I used to. All it takes is a stiff breeze and I am shivering and shaking anymore and don't even want to be outside when I am like that.
Excellent Kelly, progress!!! Love it! Hey, I am cool with being blamed for your problems buddy, whatever gets ya rollin I am sure I can return the favor
Man, what a mess. Looks just like all the messes that have gone before ya my friend. She'll clean up in a jiff man, no sweat.
Classic that Jack drops his ball through the OD hole.
(I have a lab named Jack too
Yea it is a mess that is for sure. I have everything out now except for the white foam boards and that will be next weekend. Yea Jack is a goof ball, but he is my bud and does bout everything with me. He is 125 lbs and did try to crawl through the OD hole, it was funny.
HOT DAM bout time you got busy. lots of clean up work there but will be more apealing when ready fo upgrade. Pugetsound
Yea I agree with you PS. Just been to blinking cold for me to be out unless I had to. I am sure that it is going to clean up well, just not looking forward to that part is all.
NB good to hear from you buddy, hope all is going better for you now my friend. And you are also on the TO BLAME LIST as well bud
Well Alright Kelly!! Thanks for the compliment, kinda nice to be included with such a great crowd, and no need for the thanks, its our pleasure. Trust me buddy, you will be happier knowing the boat is in good shape when your done. It is obvious you had trouble heading your way if left unchecked. Don't worry about the tenants (mice) you have, we all found stuff that surprised us... Keep going and post the pics, we..err, I mean you are going to love the adventure.
Yea I agree with you as for knowing the boat is in good shape. Yea I think there would have been all kinds of problems had I not started to dig into it. The mice are no longer there, have not been there since I have had the boat. Not found any signs of them anyway till now.
I have the boat completely gutted except for the white foam in the bottom, just ran out of light yesterday. I could not believe what I got done in 2 days though, I was impressed with myself for a change

. Also could not believe how many rivets I had to drill out to get the stupid thing apart either. So there is going to be a pneumatic riveter in my hands before I go putting things back together. Have my first toy to add to the boat already as well. I now have a Lowrance Elite 5 Gold fish finder/GPS unit

. Wife said I could pick one out for Christmas and we went and picked it out last week

I will try and keep up on pics as it goes, but it is going to be slow that is for sure. If I had a heated garage to work in that would be different but I don't so doing any epoxy or any floor covering or even gluvite is going to have to wait till warm weather

. And I hope that the Teleflex steering is easy to put together cause it came apart really easy:facepalm:. Time will tell fellers, time will tell.
