1. The Marketplace Forums can be useful for members who know one another well from forum discussions and offline communications and wish to post boatbuilding tools, drafting tools, molds and tooling, and other professional equipment for sale or trade. However, caution and good judgement should always be used. Especially when considering any business with anyone not already well known to you and trusted, due diligence must be used to confirm details and identity and be sure the transaction is safe before any money or property changes hands. Always use good judgement and perform due dilligence and follow these guidelines.

My little piece of peace

    Well the panels and materials for the Coach-house have been ordered, and hopefully will be delivered next week... Bob Oram has graciously offered to come and help with the setup... Hooley Dooley:!::!: Hopefully lots of images will follow the delivery ... Just confirmed as next Thursday, 11Feb2010, by the magic co-ordinator, 'M' at ATL (more efficient than James Bonds Moneypeny)...

    The team are finishing up and sorting out the internal detail as well as the stern sections - all those "annoying" things which seem to take lots of time for no great impact... Is this the frustration stage? where so close but so much yet to be done :D:D:D

    Enjoy every second of it. You're going to miss the building once it's done :rolleyes:

    Sure Zed, I can take you to a couple of places where it's JUST like inside a dishwasher ;) WHen you get out there you're clean as in CLEAN, inside and out.

    Listen mate, personally I ignore these things, but the other guys may think funny of it that you have to operate the washing machine... kinda suggests who wears the pants at home... :D

    Hi Mas

    I am also somewhere here in this "no mans land" situation at the momoent

    I read an interesting piece on the Scrumble project where Judy wrote 10 points of why things take time, I seem to remember that no 10 was something about age (thats me!) :D

    Maybe Judy can direct you there, it is so true.

    oh well, the dream team is still at it, unfortunately it does push the "hidden costs" up a bit
    well you know the story about the hole in the water
    boat building is not an exact science :p

    i am also looking forward to the top structure
    all eyes on Bob :D

    Hey Manie !!

    It's great that Judy offered those 10 points, but what would have been great would be if she offers solutions, workarounds or alternatives to those 10 things.

    Regarding age, speak for yourself. Personally I have no time to get old right now :rolleyes:

    Hey, I thought my ears were burning!

    Fanie, I can offer solutions to point 4 and 8 (see original post here: Ten (feeble) excuses)

    Tom is actually writing a post right now about how, as of today, we have solved these two problems. Just give him another couple of minutes or so, and it should be here: Shed

    Well... yeah, what can I say! That is coming for a social time warp!

    I kinda meant that Mas seems to have most every luxury on board!

    on the economic front I am moments from launching a new web site selling raw wood straight from the mills

    on the home front my neighbors stuff is all out on the front lawn

    Oh I see, Mas is going to sit on the boat and make lips sounds sounding like his washing machine, tumble dryer, micro wave... Mmmm, I wonder if that boat is ever going to leave port :confused:

    All detailed and identified do I really have to repeat myself? Go look at the pictures most is there... 'Pizza bake & grill' is under my desk, as is 'bakers oven', 2 'rice / slow cookers', a "glass oven" - 'Easy-cook' thing with a lid incorporating the fan forced heater section - works a treat... dishwasher and other things - a stihl RE-162 adjustable high pressure cleaner and self:D:D:D

    Nuke machine (put your head inside, turn it on and what a mess of an explosion) - not yet, - - - and the cold fusion system is still undergoing reliability tests (fuel is dust and other small bits of "rubbish' and looks a bit like a sort-of vacuum cleaner)...

    I was hoping you would post a plan view of the deck house, complete with hot tub and bikini clad girls
