Well we could’ve just closed the door, but I was concerned she’d wake up disoriented.

If you don’t mind me asking what did it cost and about how many hours to build the Compass Rose?

Costwise, I have not added the receipts up.

Time wise, I don't know hours really. It's been many evenings and weekends for about 5 months to get it "campable". I still need to finish it. Literally even, since the spar varnish still must go on. The fenders are another thing to do.

If you'll notice the ugly utility trailer fenders went camping. I have these to mount, once I figure how:

Thanks for the reply and info. From what I recall on the price on the 4x10 red oak plywood it won’t be cheap. And IT does not sound like it would be a three weekend project-)

Tell the working stiff and the Princess Helper good job for me

Yea! You completed right on target & what a beaut the Rose is!

Poor itty bitty girl rolling out....but she really is styling the barbie band-aids.

Looks like a wonderful time PE & I just have to say what wonderful parents you & your Mrs are.

By the end of the trip the boat had acquired gun ports, a stern gallery and poop deck and a forecastle.

The engineer in you never rests does he???? :)

Thanks for pinging me to this!

I recall seeing something like this for American cars back in the 70s, but it didn’t last for whatever reason.

My first job after my extremely short stint at the University of Science, Music and Culture was at a laundromat and car wash.

LOL.

Greetings o Samwise :-)

A week or so ago when gas got down to 2.88 at the local C-Store I accused the Guys of trying to put OPEC out of business!

Off to work I must go Have a great day

Here in the northern part of the country of Texas, we’re seeing upper 2.40’s.

You got the wrong Sam. SAMWolf is the cohost of the Foxhole. I’m just the hobbit who leaves spitballs all over the place. But “hello” anyway!

If I were a cynic, I’d say prices will soar after the election.
