Project Log: Monday, June 3, 2013
Over a period of a few days, a little here and there, I
made some tentative steps towards my hopeful--and
planned--return to more serious work on this project in
the near future. Along with continuing my
agonizingly slow varnish work on the interior doors (I
seemed to find time for about one coat per week or so,
but was just about ready for the satin coat(s)), I
started clearing out space around the boat in "my" side
of the shop. Over time, the space beneath had
become clogged up with various storage and supplies,
plus the inexorable clutter that eased in from the edges
and corners of the shop.

I made these efforts because I planned to move the boat
over to my other shop bay, my clean, empty bay which I
had long ago dedicated to "real" work. I knew that
it would be better to have her over in that bay for the
work ahead, which would focus on some final exterior
work (mainly in the cockpit) and, at long last and much
postponed, the exterior painting. With a few
months of smaller "real" work projects ahead, I decided
now was the time to get Momentum moved over,
partly as a motivating factor, and partly because the
work would be more efficient in the open, uncluttered
work bay on the other side.
With enough of the clutter cleared out to allow me to
move the boat, I picked her up on my trailer and
transferred her to the adjacent shop bay, where I
expected she'd remain through the summer before emerging
with her fresh paint. |

With clear space around in her new home, I looked
forward to soon beginning the final stages of exterior
work. |
