That's odd, they show for me. I'll see if it's a setting where they're hosted.
The google URL you are using requires you to set the photo to be “public”. From memory o believe that is in properties/settings and “everyone can read”.
That's what I figured it to be. I changed it for now so hopefully they show up.
Working now
My already completed 'Lil Bit'. A Martens Goosen V12 set up to sail me to the fishing holes.
Currently working on making a Helms 24 our coastal cruiser.

Yes sir all the pictures are showing up now :D
Your winter and mine are pretty much the same. I bet overall you have more below zero days than I do. Plus I bet you have more wind too :help: People always think Alaska is cold but if you live right on the coast like I do it is not too bad. You do not need to get very far from the water before it starts to turn into real winter though.

george,
Your kids are growing up fast. They were small when you built the first FL
Nice looking family, and boat is coming along nice.
I love Wyoming but hate the cold so for now I'll stay in Arizona.
I still get cold when thinking about the times working in Rock Springs during the winter.

Fuzz, I’m certain I have more wind and it sucks!

Larry, yes they are growing crazy fast. I also hate Wyoming winters, but I like the lack of people and live the summers so I’m here for now. I still think of moving, usually by March of each year I’m done with the place and ready to move, but then spring starts peaking it’s head out and next thing you know I’m back in love. When the kids move out we’re definitely going to snowbird someplace warmer.

I really should build an elevated platform for boatbuilding. I have my shop heated to 70 degrees, but the floor is still about 40 and so my epoxy is taking forever to cure. I built a little tent over it this morning and broke out my portable propane heated to blow hot air in where it'll be focused on the joint I glued yesterday afternoon. It's almost cured now so I'm thinking after lunch I should be good to flip it over and epoxy a strip of tape over the other side of the joint.

I sure would love a shop with a heated floor!


Hmm... Maybe I should contact Jeff and have his amend my last order to a faster hardener instead of using slow hardener in the winter! :help:

I have slab heat in my house and shop. I do not believe there is a better heat for a shop. 60f slab heat feels a lot warmer than 70f from forced air.
I do almost all of my glassing at 60f and use fast hardner. If I have a big job I will use medium or slow.

I worked in a shop with a heated floor, it was wonderful. When the time comes to build my new shop it will most certainly have a heated slab, no question about that!
