re: The second pirogue build is on

Here is what it looked like when i got it home:


I jigsawed off the bottom trim as close as i could...then sanded the rest. I have actually left 1/8 inch or so on the bottom...hope thats not a problem. I figured I could use taht to seal a leak if there was one


Putty'd all the nails/screws/bottom seam lines


Sanded the putty to smooth them down......



Its actually pretty dang smooth. I was pleasantly surprised. Its ready for primer and paint...or stain. Havent decided what I am doing yet. Wife is gonna help me do it, she is good at that kinda stuff. We have time to tag team it next weekend.
