It has always been my understanding that the copper on a ship would not turn green until exposed to the air. Bob R. -

Before I left for Japan I completed about 8 rows of copper on the starboard side. I was on a roll! Gone for 6 weeks but I do get to attend The Rope 38th Exhibition while I am here. Bob R.

Thanks guys. Plenty of copper. My only problem is that I leave for Japan on Thursday for 6 weeks. Bob R.

So, I marked off the waterline which is 3 1/8" from the baseline. I then applied a piece of tape just above the waterline all the way around. Then the fun began. The one thing thats really slowing me down is the looseness of my ponce wheel. I am now letting it ride along the edge of a piece of boxwood as I rivet the copper. This is the results at the end of day 1. Bob R.

Ok...why was I in such a hurry to start laying copper? THIS IS NOT FUN! Bob R.
