realworkingsailor Posted March 19, 2013 Author #184 Posted March 19, 2013 Well now that once again we're back on.. A small update, it might be my last for a while, we'll see. Since I'm now pretty well decided on replacing the upper masts with square stock, I decided to go ahead and work on the remaining lower masts, since the doweling is adequate for that job, although I can see where square stock would also be advantageous in some respects.There's still alot of hardware to go on, and the tops are not finished yet, but all that will be fore the future.

realworkingsailor Posted March 21, 2013 Author #208 Posted March 21, 2013 It's one thing to stick your nose out the door and go "*sniff* Hmmm cold out..." and the retreat back inside.. Try having to clear frozen sounding pipes, valves and other plumbing work, when the contents of said plumbing would prefer not to exist in a liquid state... Oh yeah... Did I mention that at the same time you yourself has also been forced to endure said frigid temperatures for several hours and most likely due to the aforementioned issues are also soaked to the skin (yet the outer layers of your clothing has begun to freeze).... "Man up"..... Yeah... Sure... You first... Andy augie and mtaylor 2 Quote Quando Omni Flunkus, Moritati Current Build: USF Confederacy
