I will post some pictures of inside the hull. After sealing with cpes, base primer and has two coats of Interlux white scuffed between coats, really cleaned up the inside. Most of the bright work has been redone waiting to be reinstalled. I have gathered 3500 lbs of tire weight which I will be taking to one the local foundry to have the keel cast very shortly. I'm still looking for a source for the bronze keel bolts. My table saw gave it up so I'm looking for a new one to make the ceiling material from cedar which I plan on doing right away. I will be reefing the old caulking this winter and sealing between the planks with a thinned cpes so it will be ready for recaulking in the spring.
I'm looking for a reasonable source for bronze shell pulleys, I have most the bronze hardware but need outhaul cars, 1/2" bronze double block and single block, other bronze shell blocks pulley, bronze turnbuckles. How important is it to have bronze pulleys with bearing ? I also need a good source for a traditional looking dacron rope. There are no good suppliers for traditional boat supplies in Edmonton so sourcing out stuff takes a fare amount of research.
Winter is coming I have a contractor building a garage pad and various other sitework at the lake which is being gravelled today.
I'm designing a big 100' half circle terraced rock wall with huge 3'- 4' sized boulders facing the lake there will be a set of stairs through the middle to walk down to the lake from the patio this will create built up the pad for the house and patio. I hope to have the portable building up soon 20'x32'. I will look into building a new garage next year.
