Default Time Consumption

Awesome looking work TSP!!! Where do you find the time to make all that happen, and not get any flak from the wife. My wife is super cool, and wants to be on the boat with me, but I think even she would get a little snippy with the hours you have into it.

Default The Home Stretch...

Thanks a lot guys, happy to have your approval. About finding the time, if I calculate it by the hour, I'm spending aprox. 8 hours a week . This month it's been 1 year since I began the project (416 Hrs). About the wife, she loves the boat (and the kids too) and i painted the house for X-mas. Being patient helps a lot too and last but not least, having a site like this one for inspiration.

At last I'm on the last steps for the conclusion of this one. I need to shoot the blue paint and blend to the sides, sand and polish the paint & start drilling & rigging the V. I've purchased many goodies I'm crazy to see installed.

I'll keep you posted.
