I'm on my way to Lynn Marie Tim's house, and I will report back on the secretive projects he's got going on. This will be cool - inspecting the building inspector's work!

OK Tim - It's a quarter to 11. If I don't get there in a reasonable amount of time, you'll know I can't follow directions.

I made it there and back. Unfortunately, I am not at liberty to discuss what I saw. Let's just say for now that it is some extrordinary workmanship, and the bar has been raised. These durn craftsmen like Tim and David and B~C and Les and all the others with their teak trim and hand laid cork flooring who do things purely for asthetics are gonna drive this group right up to the yacht club ranks unless us screw, glue, and plastic lumber Rube Goldberg types do something to stem the scourge of quality. That's it - no more pictures from me!

Darn Mike shows up to look things over and the next thing I know is that I'm in a new group. And he didn't even bring the durn dog! And Mike, I wouldn't be bashing your work if I were you either. I'd give up half of my wood working ability for just a bit of your creativeness, not to mention those metal and machining skills. A guy gets a "paint by the numbers" floor kit and all of a sudden you've got him an artist.
I do appreiate the kind words. After spending most of my life doing wood work, this boat tinkering satisfies a void left after a became a building inspector. And like you, I almost enjoy the boat as much here in the driveway as I do out on the water.
I'm going to try and get some pictures of the seat slide and bin mounting rail setup to take up to the CBC. I'm not sure where Les is on his seat conversions so they may help someone elses project. Since I don't have a digital it's hard to shoot and post.

If this site aint more fun than working on the boat I don't know what is. And Mike, as for those Martha Stewart plaques, they were on the boat before we bought it. The first guy who owned it put on those wood side handrails and that's what he used for backing. I wish the damn things weren't there cause now I have to think about finishing that crap. Wood should be inside out of the weather unless it comes from one of those plastic trees.
