Final Glass on the Hull.



Today at noon we trimmed and sanded the the hatch rims and coated them with epoxy. We also put down extra strips of glass along the keel at the front and back to provide protection while launching and landing. This is the last of the fiberglassing of the hull. We went back to it at 8 p.m. to add more coats of epoxy to the hatch rims and the new glass. About 1 hour of work on the boat.

Rick spent some extra time on his own trying out stain for the hatch covers.



Rick also realized the door in his living room had never been opened in the 2 years he's lived in the house. Closer inspection revealed that the door is painted shut. It is unclear if it is also locked and, if it is, where the key is.




Total Construction Time: 45 hours.

Christine-

There is always the window. But we will get the door opened eventually.

That's good! Have you guys come up with a name for her yet?

No name yet. We are considering a naming contest and certainly welcome suggestions.
