Uphill climbing

Boat building gets to be like mountain climbing at times. Every time you look up, there is another false summit ahead. You think you are making progress and suddenly you realize there is lots further to go.

I've built and attached the transom. Had to do a little fiddling, as the transom CNC cut panel was a little narrower than the boat. Widened the transom a 1/4 inch and things are fine now. Nobody but me will ever notice the difference (except people reading this that is). I'm sure the CNC transom panel is right, and somehow during my tracing of the hull bottom and cutting it, an 1/8 inch a side crept in. No big deal. Used a piece of maple I had lying around to make the transom re-inforcement that backs up the CNC panel. Man is that stuff hard! But it will never break.

Cut foam Sunday morning - it looked like it snowed in the sidewalk between my house and the neighbors. Not my favorite neighbors, as they keep their house like it's abandoned. They'll never notice the foam bits. They are young and stupid - washing their cars more often than they cut the lawn - putting effort into a money loser like a car to impress people, while the real estate investment that could have made $100,000 since they moved in now looks like it is a grow op.
