Just think you can anyway

I never claimed to be original, right? Here’s a blog of someone who is building a lobster boat, and who is chronicling it in a blog just like I intend to here. The difference is in the timeline, he’s giving himself nine months. His goal is to have the boat on the water by June 1, because his wife wants to go out boating with him and promises to wear a bikini if he makes the deadline. No word on whether he’ll post pics of that event or not, but he has plenty of the build.

Nina is going to be a small lobster boat, the plans are here: http://www.bateau.com/proddetail.php?prod=LB22

The blog is at http://buildingnina.blogspot.com/. After reading it I realize that I’m going to need to do more planning around the weather than I had given thought to.

Our Church is remodeling and adding a Sanctuary. Apparently they had an idea for how they wanted the parking lot to be built, but no one looked at the cost. After they started they realized that their plans would be too expensive, so they decided to do it another way. That caused problems with drainage and zoning, so they’re going to end up with a grass field that can be used to handle overflow parking–not what they envisioned at all. The last thing I want to do is get caught like they did–I need to make sure I have everything well planned out.
