The Project Logs

This is the home page for the restoration project logs.  During the job, I posted a log for each day I worked on the boat, with plenty of photos and each day's hours.

The so-called "Phases" are essentially meaningless, but are my way of roughly organizing the project into its naturally occurring stages.  The photos to the right of each phase represent how the boat looked at the beginning of that phase.
