About %!@#*%ing Time

I finally cut the garboard planks today, after a few kind words of advice from Paul Rollins. It has been snowing all day long, but I was excited to actually have the Micky Finn far enough along to get to this bit.

The cedar looks great and only required a little tweaking. Of course, now that I get down into it, I notice a bunch of little details that have to be squared before I can actually fasten the sucker down. (Forgotten butt fasteners, frames that need slight alignment, etc.)

But no matter, on Monday I'll crack into it. Or be into crack. Hard to tell the difference, some days.
