Still slowly working on the decks and hatches. I over drilled the holes for the hinges on the hatches and just filled them all up. with the left over epoxy/wood flour mixture, I did a little fairing on the aft decks.
Work have been a roller coaster of rain/high flow rates, school starting back and employees that can't decide if they want to work or not. Hard to relax when you don't know if the doors will stay open or not.
