Eric, how terrible!!! I just hope it gets better for the (your) family. Just horrible!! Jeff

Boat building is great therapy for life's trials. Terrible story, sad to hear it.
Nice looking work, I really like the hull shape as well.

Family problems are always the worst. Sorry to hear of them for you. Nothing like sanding to take your mind off of stuff. But then again that might not be so good for the wrist.

[Eric1]

Thanks everyone for the kindness. Fuzz the wrist is doing good and building has helped a lot, keeping my mind occupied. Just so much has happened in the last four years. I am just floored tonight. All I can think about is the eight year old boy I met and how his life has come to this. One moment of anger and such a price has been paid by both him and the thief. Such a waste of life.

Eric my thoughts are with you. May God bless your cousin in law and hope that all will go well for him. God bless.

My OD 18 was pure therapy at a time I needed it. Sucks about your Cousin's husband. Hope they are lenient with him.

Hey Eric,

Sorry about your cousin in law.

This is the third time I mess with boats and nothing like do it to clean your mind! Every hour in boat building recharges my batteries days of work!

Regards,

Carlos

I got back to work on the boat today. I finished applying quick Fair to the second side of the bottom and I got about halfway up the second side panel.
I have not been sleeping good because my neck muscle have been tight as a banjo string. Work and Family issues have taken a toll on my nerves.
I needed to go trout fishing this morning but it was pointless due to all the rain last night. Any way here is where the build is at present.

I've lost track of how much Q.F. I've used to cover the bottom.


I got 180 grams applied to the side panel.


Maybe tomorrow I can come get the rest of the side panel covered.

[Eric1]

I came in and finished putting Q.F. on the side. I used another 150 grams. I'm getting low on the 1st kit I bought. I guess I used a little over 3/4 of it so far. I'm glad I bought a second kit.



I thought I'd start sanding the bottom, start was all it was meant to be. I'm having to sit and twist my body to reach it and my neck muscles said no way.
I only got this far, maybe two feet or so.



I'm heading to the house to clean up. Y'all have a great weekend.

Eric the boat is looking good. Sorry your body is not as good as the boats How does the air sander work for you?
