I started this project because I had some material left over, some room in the garage and some time on my hands. It seemed like a quick build, something fun to play with which did not require a lot of cash or time. It has been decorating my garage for 2 months because I just started getting busy. Every time I'm driving somewhere I think about building it. When I get 2 or 3 hours at home, I find something else around the house to do.

So, in the intervening months, my garage floor had accumulated mess and the boat hull itself became a shelf. This mess has made it hard to think straight in the garage, much less contemplate my next step in the project. Last night I took some action. I cleaned up. Doesn't sound so ground breaking now, but 1/2 hour of straightening, tossing crap away and sweeping I actually have a garage floor again and can now take the next step of gluing the seams.

I would have done that last night, but my buddy Vince who lives down the road called up to see if I wanted to hang out. He and his wife have a young baby, so we don't get to hang all the time. I'm going to try to get some seams glued tonight, and take some new pics!

This picture is from April, now the seams are Duct Taped and ties are clipped. I have also added some bilge frames in the center of the boat to kep it from flattening.
