No details.

So I went out and did another full size mock up of the trilo. The funny thing is that I resorted to cooling the kitchen with a solar panel and fan that I was saving for the boat. All I need now is to move a broke van from my build spot.Dragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02127473453909413019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-14192150264175410072013-06-21T23:15:30.294-04:002013-06-21T23:15:30.294-04:00The smell of resins remind my grown children of th...The smell of resins remind my grown children of their childhoods.

Between the two of them you'd have a good start at least. <br /><br />After 34 years of marriage, my lovely wife doesn't even complain about the "junk" -too much. <br /><br />Epoxy isn't as bad as polyester resin, but that's one of the reasons the boat project got moved from the basement to outside. Besides, the basement is full of junk . . .Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-72524490467556738052013-06-21T09:29:14.263-04:002013-06-21T09:29:14.263-04:00Might have to take a break to go sailing though . ...Might have to take a break to go sailing though . . .Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-23877183766031458562013-06-21T09:28:44.470-04:002013-06-21T09:28:44.470-04:00It's coming along.It's coming along.Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-75983031278013278012013-06-21T06:58:09.317-04:002013-06-21T06:58:09.317-04:00Hope you didn't end up itching much from the f...Hope you didn't end up itching much from the fiberglass.Momladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11511742074910407321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-84208346935226346452013-06-21T05:07:48.098-04:002013-06-21T05:07:48.098-04:00I once met a man at a boatyard who was long boardi...I once met a man at a boatyard who was long boarding a yacht.
