The Big Chill !

[ppat324]

Bill cut the mid stateroom in half and doubled the closet in the master into a master head. The old master head is now a walk in closet with a dresser. The guest head is now the punishment room: a single bunk with six drawers underneath with a sliding door.
He told me to say that if you werent so busy being forumly challenged you would have read the "I cant take the strain" thred ya big dummy.
That thred garnered 25000 views. Where were you? WELL? ppat324 (The X-O)

Why thank you ma'am, and give my best to Willy. I'll go back and look at that thread for sure. It's these creative thread names that throw me off track.

 

[Sparky1]

Oh yeah, tell Willy not to be flinging down any gauntlets where thread views are concerned. I may just have to take the ole' birdboat to YankeeFest on one engine this year, and this time I'll take my laptop and talk to myself just like he does!

 

[Sparky1]

Last one, I promise. That dang thread is 118 pages long. How about a little hint where I might see some pictures?

 

[ppat324]

My "Viking" doesnt take no stinking lap top with him. He is strictly business.
When we work on the sub, we work. We also dance on the Diamond plate.He is very focused on the job at hand. ppat324

Talk nice to him and maybe he will send you some pics to SosecC(?).
BTW... dont let the wife see the pics.

 

[Sparky1]

Yep, Willy's got my email, and don't worry about the wife. She doesn't even know I own a boat.

 

[ppat324]

yep, maybe thats why she likes Willys boats so much. LOL ppat324

What a gal... eh Sparkolito??? Instead of reading the New York Times on the crapper sunday morning, take your lap top in the outhouse with ya and read the whole strain thred. It aint about air conditioning either!!! ws

 

[Sparky1]

Yeah Willy, Pat sounds like a keeper... as in keeper workin' on the sub 'til she shines like a new penny.

I'll read up on that straining thread to see what you've come up with. I've thought about combining my two heads into a sort of his and her's type deal with a tub/shower between the two VF's. Maybe one day I'll get past the thinking stage on this and other projects. Your perspiration is my inspiration.

Damn ATMs !! Went to get some cash this morning and the SOB ate $80 and let me have a $20. I gave the camera the finger before I left. Gotta take care of that in the morning,
Got to the boat a little late today... I had to drop the X-O off at her house for her daughters baby shower... Aww!!
Yesterday I finished up the framing and today was merely a job of cutting and fitting the side and top and bottom panels... a total of 57 screws. Every one of them bastards lined up too !! ws

 

[yachtsmanbill]

Was thinking of SKY today !! ws

 

[yachtsmanbill]

All thats left is some varnish, paint and a little trim for an award winning job LOL. ws

 

[yachtsmanbill]

20F and I am in my comfort zone... The stud outside is locating and clamping all the stuff inside. ws

 

[yachtsmanbill]

Just some inside framing... ws

It is sure looking good, Bill.

One month to go and the boats can be back in the water again. Then I can start working on ours. It sure would be nice if the marina where we keep our boat would provide us with power over the winter, but they don't unless you store the boat in the water.

In the meantime, I am envious.

 

[yachtsmanbill]

Thanks man... after all the talk here about electric rates etc, I am glad that up here its included with the slip ! In the summer, the AC goes on as soon as I open the door, and if the yard could handle the amp load I would heat with electric now. I have to share a 15 amp outlet with a 64 foot Roamer. This job runs me about $50 a week for propane. ws

 

[Sparky1]

Looking good Bill. Just one thought though, I'm assuming that when you post pictures using this site's hosting service, one of your old pictures disappears every time you post a new one as you may be maxed out on capacity. I went back and looked that the thread about strainers, but it would seem your pictures are gone.

 

[yachtsmanbill]

Thats known as "having the upper hand" LOL. If you dont keep up, yer in the dark. About once a week I hafta "cull the herd"... I can only keep about 30 pics up and then need to delete some. I'll try to get some pics out today for you. Clear yer cookies daddio... I'll shoot ya about 300 pics, ok??? ws

I rarely seem to be able to post pics here, some sort of glitch causes my posts to screw up. I was going to post a pic of this 65' Hat with this Roman column on deck but its screws ups. Must be my browser.
