Default Re: Here We Go Again

Thanks Brian. Rhett, the server was down for about 24 hours and I don't know why but I guess they got it figured out.

Still trying to get power to the shop. My friend loaned me his trencher a couple weeks ago. There are two long runs with a junction box connecting the two. The first run starts at the corner of the fence closest the house were I have a junction box that feeds power to the irrigation control system.



It makes a hard right and beelines for the opposite side of the property to another junction box.



From there it turns strait for the shop



The wire is gonna cost a small fortune just to get to the shop.

Now for the boat:

More fairing and block sanding. Another coat of Awlgrip 545 and guide coat applied;



The bottom is getting closer to paint



Another block sanding and washed off with water. At this point it seems like Never Never Land



The glorious day finally arrived when I got to shoot a little primer on the inside of the hull




There are lots of little pinholes in the panels. I think we may have got a little too aggressive in our earlier sanding and sanded thru the primer in a few spots.



Never fear. We have System 3 Quick fair.




I should have primed the transom cap when I made the part because that baby was loaded with pin holes



Stay tuned for next weeks episode entitled "More fairing and sanding"
