The float sound ideal! give it a good going over with new plate (over here we use heavy plate to temporary to cover holes in the road and so with a few dollars in the right direction plates can be made available from Plant companies who hire them out and need the occasional revenue) where needed and loads of bitumous epoxy (epoxy pitch)and away you go!Three months to get the frame up and the roof on and a lifetime to finish (who was it that said that? Sir Chistopher Wren, when he built St Pauls? Nah! or was it Goudi with Barcelona cathedral) Best of luck with your float house endevours I hope you can find an economic and idealic mooring.robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09044375312210845173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131843283176679314.post-56054797670051588522008-12-21T10:02:00.000-08:002008-12-21T10:02:00.000-08:00Thanks Rob , you are so right.

I just have my moments where I feel totally overwhelmed by it all. It looks like David may of found me a 23x 24 foot float to work on. I wont be getting it until February sometime but its a spark of hope. Thanks for staying in touch and reading my babblings, Happy holidays and all the best for the New year to you and your familyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131843283176679314.post-17987095197240339562008-12-20T01:33:00.000-08:002008-12-20T01:33:00.000-08:00Here I sit at my compbox with my "sad" light blast...Here I sit at my compbox with my "sad" light blasting out its rays, so you see, you are not alone! Its that time of the year! "we can all live through others but we still end up in a single bed". Its what we do with our lives while we are here that matters, both to us and others! I have no doubt that people look at what you are doing/have done ( probably sitting around their fire surrounded with kids, in their own home)smothered with responsibility, mortgages loans,school fees, insurance, etc and think I wish I had done that with my life ,look at all that freedom, her own boat, total freedom of choice, everything they may have secretly ever wanted. Refurbishing a wooden boat is a time consuming and can be a heartbreaking exercise,I know I have done a couple, but we never listen and go ahead anyway. I`m a carpenter and joiner by indentured apprenticeship (old style) and wouldn`t now touch another wooden ship as I now see them as so much firewood, I go cold at the thought of the magnitude of what you have already achieved with yours, let alone what you still have to do.I think your float house idea is the best, but you still have to make your boat saleable first so as to do that and when its finished as with all of us, we then regret selling them. Take care, keep warm and look upwards with your chin out, and shoulders back! walk forwards not backwards and learn what optomism is. Remember 50 is the new 35 :o))and there is always something new around the corner! Happy holidays and choose the right corner :o))robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09044375312210845173noreply@blogger.com
