BTW - with all that glassing of the core sections, the transom was H-E-A-V-Y .. . . I had to put my beer down to get it into place

16” of heavy/wet snow on Monday. The power went off in the AM and hasn’t been back. There was a travel ban in place for a while. To top it off, a tree fell across our road and nobody can get past. The road has not been plowed because of the tree.

Needless to say, work on the extension bracket has been on hold.

Why on hold? You can't go anywhere ... great time to work on the conversion! LOL!

No power, no heat . . . . no resin curing.

I got power back at 1:00 this morning. This are looking up for me.

No power, no heat . . . . no resin curing.

Think of it this way, pot life of resin will be longer, enabling longer working time, everything thing will be waiting for the power to return.

It appears that the town I live in can’t get their act together in responding to a snow emergency. So, I decided to wire my oil burner to the generator, because it could be a few more days without power. Things are warming up, now that the main heat is going again.

I just hope my fuel supply holds out for another day or two.

The town put on their website a status. . .
only 50% of the roads have been plowed. 75% of residents are without electricity.

Build a fire on the floor of your garage ... what could possibly go wrong?!?!

Ted, if need be, I can tell you how to mix acetone and engine oil to run thru the oil burner. you will need to watch the exit temps.
