We finish in the dark, you can see the middle part of the roof from this picture, and how the 1708 came all the way around the fore roof. We made it.

Hey guys... you want to see some more of this stuff or I'm I boring you???... if this is interesting to you post something, make a remark.... so for the 2 hours that it takes me to scan thru my pics, resize, upload, and do the whole enchilada I think you can at least make a quick reply...

Now that I've begun to do this I can appreciate the nice posts people put up in this place and the time it takes them to do it

I gave rebuilding boats a shot, but you're going DEEP into the rebuilding process. She looks good! I enjoy seeing the process you've made. Hope I get to see it in action one day!
