Oh Joy refit 9/16/09

Since there's gonna be so many, I decided to start dating them.

We made progress on the bulwarks once I got some more tools for the job. As you can see, the screws are monsters and those stainless spikes they used weren't small either.

I cleaned it up off the boat to show the true color of the wood. It still needs bleaching and some minor repairs.

This is the mess it left. Note the ragged screw holes that weren't in either the sheer plank or the deck but between the two.

The boom is cleaning up nicely.

Thanks for posting the images Charlie. It looks like you are doing a total workmanlike job and I hope your fortitude continues.:) I can imagine it gets daunting at times.:eek:

I have to say that I find these type of posts amongst the most interesting on this forum and the reason to hang around here so thank for taking the time to post your updates Charlie.

And I take it that is the evidence of the "blood sweat and tears" that you are putting into this project??

Well done mate.
