That’s pretty much it!

Had to bring the epoxy inside last night so it didn’t freeze. Guess that’s pretty much it except for some sanding till spring. :-(

Not much to show

this week. Been lazier than ole’ Bootsy Boy lately. Must be the change in seasons. Body is telling me it’s soon time to hibernate. Tucked the car and boat away in barns for the winter. :-(This weekend I did manage to get the bulwarks tacked into place …

It’s been slow….
