Boat building was much more fun..


Stop whining: find someone who knows how to handle sheet metal, and has
the tools to do the job properly and neatly. Since it is a "residential"
homeowner job, maybe you can find a retired member of the sheet metal
workers union, or another skilled tradesworker.

Call (850) 224-4440?, the Florida Building & Construction Trades
Council, for a local union number. The business agent should be able to
send you someone skilled.

I had a retiree come by, measure, and make in his home shop some copper
window box liners.


Yeah, sure.
