    Bought my first boat to cut, gut and rebuild from bow to stern, including engine. Killed my back and suffered the wrath of the fiberglass demons

    The pants are one, I'm not stopping. I am however going to wait until all this redness and irritation subsides as it has only increased since I last took pics. I am definitely going to go overkill with precautions next time I go at this. I have a box of suits coming my way that I found on...

    I do not want to pay for glass work when I am so close to finishing the demolition. I am going to be super careful though next time. Funny you mention bottom painting. I plan on redoing the outside of the boat with glass over the holes I accidentally made as well as a fresh coat of gel coat...

    Felt well enough to get up and take these photos. Right hand and arm are a little worse than the left side.

    Yes. That was the part that I was so excited about. I actually added about $700.00 worth of goodies to my Amazon cart early on before I knew what I was getting into. I am a pro at spending money and need a new expensive hobby to keep me from spending excess money on my old expensive hobby. 😂

    Thanks! Looks like $hit to me. I don't think I will be doing this ever again. It hurts and I am so sore. Even being outside and doing this was nuts! I am going to bust my utility fan out of my basement and get some air moving in there to try to keep it from clouding up. That sounds painful. Look...

    3 hours Sanding today. Everything... myself included.... looks like a Bakery exploded and flour got everywhere lol. I got the entire bow sanded. Accidentally sanded through the hull early on.... oh well..add that to the list of holes to patch. One strange thing I found.... and I wonder if...

    I got out there today and hit it hard. Spent 6 hours cutting the remaining pieces out along with cutting the floor to expose old stringer remnants from a past restoration that were glassed over. I am hurting and hungry...... but I am also done with demolition!!! It's taken damn near 3 months but...

    I'm going at it hard tomorrow and Thursday hopefully. I believe I am a matter of a single digit number of hours before the rebuild happens! Last bits of cutting and sanding is all that's left.
