Due to the enormously hot weather and extremely high humidity, the glue on the waterproof carpet glue isn't curing as planned. especially due to the high humidity, it's just kinda sitting there. Oh it's curing OK, but a lot slower than expected. Heres the stuff we're using: http://www.menards.com/main/store/20...ia/Flooring/ma... This is kind of a set back due to other projects we could be doing on the boat if the carpet was solid. Oh well.... What did you decide about the seat base. I'd think building one would be pretty simple, if you had the time. There used to be van conversion shops around which sold table tops, etc, etc. Seems something like that might make a nice base for the seat, with some reinforcing, and would have rounded corners. Maybe marine plywood with a coat of polyurethane would work, with appropriate bracing of course. Sorry about the glue. We're planning on building storage boxes for the seats and mounting the seats on a swivel. we'll see how that goes for one, and if it seems to be a good deal, then I'll get another swivel for the other side. If not,t hen we can always bolt them solid to the box. My carpenter buddy is really prone to heat exhaustion, so he's taking on some indoor work for people at the moment. If it cools down a bit like it did today, we'll be back at making the boxes. I already picked up a low-profile cooler like they have in the pic. And will probably build out of outdoor plywood (DryPly) and carpet over.... It'll come together....eventually Hopefully We can get the interior finished.I think we're supposed to have cooler weather for the rest of the week... *At this venture low humidity is what I need. We finally, yesterday, had a thunderstorm come through that came over our place. Got more than an inch of rain and today is quite nice. Of course this weather isn't coming your way. Today I get to sit in the dentist's chair for another root canal. Lots of shots in the roof of my mouth. Gotta love it, especially the shot between the top teeth and the top lip. That's just a great place to have a needle stuck in your body. Gettin' old is such a joy. Well, at least you still have teeth to be rooted! I've had a shot on that same place and it's a real winner! makes you feel like you getting electrocuted. Glad you finally got some rain, John. then hopefully a cool front will come through and the grass will take off. in the next couple of days it's supposed to get boiling hot again here... Eh...it's almost August. |

Eh...it's almost August. Well, the dentist couldn't do this one. That makes two attempts this week on different teeth. Neither was successful. Go to a specialist Monday for *two* root canals. But, I'd rather have a root canal than drive I-95 to Richmond on a Friday afternoon! Oh, went to the orthopod guy today. No golf or frisbee throwing for at least a month. Crap, I'll probably put on 30 lbs. Speaking of weight, how's it going. Haven't heard anything lately. |

Doing fine John, jsut really having a time busting the 265 mark. what's the deal about the frisbee throwing? It's a 'tennis backhand' which is what starts 'tennis elbow' when not done properly. Apparently I've not been throwing the damn frisbee properly either. Oh well. **** happens. I'll just have to add about three miles to the dog's daily walks. |
