Thank you for wishing me well. The air tools are a blessing. :)

It used to make good money but competing against China and Mexico has us surviving not growing. Level the playing field and no country can out produce us.

Looks like that might just happen. Soon! On the down side...you might be so busy you don't have time to build your boat.

Wow, I can't believe it's been almost a month. I have been busy with work, family and church. I'd forgotten how busy life can get through the holidays!
I put another 6 ounce of fairing compound on today. I might get more on after lunch.

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!!! I got some work done today on the build and thought to share pictures of the progress.
I started out sanding where I left off. A couple of hours with the air file and orbital got this section done.

Image

I decided to work in 3 oz. bathes today so I could take little breaks and give my shoulder a rest. I didn't want to get halfway into a large mix and have to stop if it acted up.

Image

Next:

Image

I had enough fairing mix to do one more batch. I decided to put it on the aft section as it takes a bit more to fair the tape overlaps.

Image

I may get to do a little more tomorrow afternoon. I have to hit the DMV in the morning to renew my license, let my 15 year old get her permit and my oldest will hopefully pass her road test this go around. :lol:
If for some reason I don't post before Jan.1 2017, I hope you all have a safe and Very Happy New Year!!
