Latest vLog update. Not much exciting. Stamina is still an issue.

Any rumour of my demise is greatly exaggerated. I'm still alive. Been busy doing some other jobs that needed to get done. Finally made it into the shed for spring clean up today. Tossed together a video update.

Can't believe this is the 11th. yr of actually building this monster. I'm feeling a lot better this year having lost 75 lbs over the last 12 months. More energy and endurance should help accellerate the project (I hope).

Standby, more to come. Thanks for sticking around.

Cheers!!!

This is a good lesson for those thinking they want to build a big boat. It is hard to really understand the time involved until you have done it. Good job hanging in there with the project!

Stay at it Rick. I use worklists a ton because so much of my work is sequenced...

I built kitchen cabinets and all my tools are there.
