What design is Cricket ?

Clint - I tried again - and failed again - see your private messages on this forum.

They can haul it back out and weld on some pontoons.

I just installed this rack from Rockler

I had to wash the pieces as they had a light oil on them.

I believe the...

canon mx 850 color print/scan b&w fax, connects to LAN for easy sharing

much better than previous hp printers

I think it's much cheaper to operate too but I don't have any hard numbers on that

Looks like Earl will be a non-issue here. But we are still getting the generator and will get a transfer switch wired up to run the heat/fridge/some lighting.

Not interested in paying 10k for a...

Anyone have advice on a portable generator for home use. Something to use while power is out.

I would like to power:


gas furnace for heat

2 refrigerators (could...

I thought I read that they do glass em at least on the outside. I bet if you email Walter at Old Wharf he will reply with more info.

An alternative to this boat is the Lumber Yard Skiff at Old Wharf

I have not seen either plans so I can't comment on how detailed they are.

Why is Bob Marley on Air Alaska planes ?

a marina here has very large tires stuffed with foam and chained together

A few hundred yards north-north-east is my Boston Whaler just off the neighborhood dock.

Half the fun of google maps is seeing from afar and then zooming in. Some...

first photo looks like Stony Beach, later Woods Hole.

How does the 14' boat ride - probably pretty nice in calm water.

Are the plans from Walter @ Old Wharf ?

Keep us updated on how the box...

I can see my whaler on it's mooring just off the neighborhood dock.

Elf, find your location and at top right corner of the map is a link titled "Link" - click it - and then you can paste the url

Get him to build it with you. That makes him the builder and you the assistant.

I'm nowhere near the K compound :D

No tower - I believe the town regs say the tower needs to fall on your land if it falls over. That kills towers for about 98% of the properties.

Any recommendations on a wind meter I can collect data from so I can do some analysis to see if any of the small sized wind turbines would be feasible at my house.

Thanks

Call the dealer and ask them to come pick it up.

Either they will be able to provide this service or one of the mechanics could earn a few bucks picking it up after hours.

Anyone have something like this that they can recommend ?

Looks good and thanks for the update.

Maybe with more posts of actual work being done (regardless of the medium) the political nasty posts will sink quicker.

I'm cautiously optimistic...

It looks like the vertical wall portion is ok.

The angled cap is awful and needs to come off.

Is there flashing of some sort between the end of brick and that window frame ?

I bet...

htom - that's the freezing I thought you were referring to. When the water gets icy - go skiing.

This is what I use. I'm pretty sure the small end is smaller diameter than the thimble + 3/4"...

I have 2 stainless biners I use to clip my boat to the mooring. No problem with the latches yet - about 9 years. I have 3/4" line spliced around thimble with the biner attached via shackle. It's...

How about splicing the lines to the rings and then cutting to exact length needed to cleat to boat.

When leaving the dock the lines stay at the dock.

Keep a second set of docking lines in the...

This combo would work for me

You should be able to pick up a roll of lead flashing at the local building supply store.

I did not win but I applaud you for your generosity in giving away these plans.

Hopefully this will motivate others with unused plans to do the same.

Fine looking boat you have there.

Do us a favor though and take the price tags off those oars.

Kaa,

Being interested in your question I looked up the energy cost for a decent sized freezer.

Initial cost: about $800
Annual cost: $52

If not already taken for either of these would be awesome.
