No Title
Hello Guy, I would like to call this post O DE PAIN!!! Weather was good on Saturday and my stepson was lending me a hand. We got a template setup and marked, cut it out and tested fit. So far so good. Laid it on the first stringer and cut it out. Now we put this thing in and out of the boat at least half a dozen times till satisfied with the fit. Did I mention heavy and awkward, yeah. Now braced it in place and marked a line for deck height, cut and braced in place for pb. Both of us were pretty tired by now but stringer number 2 still needed cutting and fitting so I went to tidy up a few things and son has marked and cut the second stringer but his body language is saying something is not right. So I go to look at what he has done and worse case scenario, he has cut the stringer wrong because he did not reverse the template. Now normally this would be a WTF moment but what was done was done, so how can I move past this and not make him feel any worse than what he was feeling. First thing out of my mouth what just cut it in half and I will use the ply for bulkheads. Needless to say this took the wind right out of my sails and I consoled myself with 6 cold Coronas. Packed everything away, covered boat up and called it a day. Got up Sunday and mixed up some pb and glued the port stinger in place but ran short on epoxy so will need to finish that off and start on building another stringer. Gotta love this rebuilding stuff!! I was really pleased with the glue lamination on the stringers so I did something right lol
