Boat Yard Update

 29 Jul 23:

Despite the heat we got a few things done today. I was staring at a pile of stored lumber and realized that the boards I was looking at had been part of the ramp for the Wheel Deck, which we removed last year after we got the gangplank and work deck built by the Carriage House. So woo hoo, I have about 16 pieces of ramp to transfer to the Sunfish Shack expansion.

I put some of the boards in front of ST. JACQUES, still need to screw them down. Would have been nice to have them all in place yesterday when we were rolling the boat out and in. 

Next we removed the shade sail from over the Wheel Deck, as SMEDLEY's slip is almost ready for occupancy. This will be a nice area to sit on a sunny Winter day, vs under the shade trees. We also spent a few minutes routing the wisteria and scuppernong over the area that the shade sail vacated. The wisteria is leading the race to reach the Sunfish Shack, for those keeping  score.

Now to the scrap pile. We need an app where we can take a picture and the app gives us suggestions on things to build. Any ideas?

There are discussions to add a bay window type french door and a couple of windows to the end of the Heuer Garage. The 4x4 chunks might be good to support the floor. t It only has one window and I feel it gets a little too toasty in the Summer for my liking with wooden boats stored inside. The windows have screens and we can leave those open for airflow. We're not so concerned about security as we are keeping critters from chowing down on the wood. The shed does have  wooden floors, so that is beneficial to the boat's health compared to concrete. 

Stay tuned.
