big snip
Only managed to do a little caulking today.

I go through this with all my projects - sometimes they'll sit for more than
a month - in fact there's a repair project in the living room that's been
waiting for more than a year (built a boat in that time though g)

This morn, I pre-fastened the stringers along the top of the sides. I
will have to wait till my son gets home from school to really fasten
and glue it. My biggest mistake with this boat was that when I put
together the cockpit frame, i managed to get it a little twisted and
this has slightly twisted the entire boat. I believe I can deal with
this.
I hope that the next boat which I stopped when I fastened the cockpit
frame will go better as I have learned a few lessons.
I began this project as a test to see if I was psychologically suited
to building a larger boat and I think I already have my answer. My
innattention to detail is a real problem. Furhtermore, although I
know better, my mind erroneously interprets detailed directions as
"here is a suggested way to do it but you might be able to find a
better easier way". Those who can pay attention to small details and
follow directions have my admiration and envy.
