Sjors Posted July 3, 2013 Share #331 Posted July 3, 2013 Thanks Sherry Beautiful flowerbed. And what Wayne is suggest is not possible…. Our garden is just as big as your flowerbed It take you 3 hours for cutting the grass…..Here it takes 3 minutes……. Your garden is such so big as the whole area where we live…...

newbuilder101 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share #335 Posted July 3, 2013 Wayne: Thank-you! The flower bed isn't even fully in bloom yet. As for pictures....we have to keep a certain someone happy. Sjors: You are welcome! Some days I wish it only took 3 minutes for the lawn! We have 2 acres around our house...small by country standards, but large enough for us. Kevin: Thank-you! Augie: I have to confess that I actually like cutting the lawn...pretty sure it has something to do with the fact that I can sit the whole time though. Instead of planting flowers every year I planted perennials several years ago and...presto...lovely flowers without all the planting. Adrieke: Riding mower is definitely the way to go with a large lawn. I'm not well versed on Stephen King novels, so I googled this one .....moral of the story...do the lawn yourself! augie and riverboat 2 Quote Sherry Every goodbye is the birth of a memory...

mtaylor Posted July 4, 2013 Share #337 Posted July 4, 2013 Beautiful stern work, Sherry. See... gunports... easy. Just turn the proper termites....er.... tools loose on them. (They look great, BTW). I can't imagine a 3 hour mowing job on a rider. Mine takes 20 minutes (from pulling off the cover, mowing, and replacing the cover) on the riding mower which gives me more time for "other things"...

newbuilder101 Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share #340 Posted July 5, 2013 John: Thanks! Hopefully more pictures the first of next week. Mark: Thanks as well! Of course the gunports seem easy now. Shhhh...don't let my secret out about the termites.The good news about the 3 hour mowing job is that, usually my husband is home and we have 2 riders which literally "cuts" the job in half. Grant & Augie: My husband is retired and he says he has more time now to do things like the lawn! Of course we try to squeeze in time for fun diversions - hoping to get our retro speedboat out this weekend.

newbuilder101 Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share #347 Posted July 10, 2013 Our family is off the cottage, up north, this weekend and we'll be staying for a week, so the build will be on hold. I did manage to do a bit more work, but now have to prepare for holidays. The stern has had a new addition, and the second planking is underway. I also decided to test the LED lighting. The "fireworks" above the ship is fibre optics that I installed earlier in the build for the stern lanterns. garyshipwright, Burroak, tarbrush and 4 others 7 Quote Sherry Every goodbye is the birth of a memory...
