I'll make my wife try it out alone in a shark tank for the first time.

I thought we had 11 or twelve being built?

I guess you finally got a tally of definite orders then?

Just saw that new post fish.

TDOB 24/7 500 mile radius interstate collaborative roadside assistance. Even when you don't call for it.

A service offered to premium OB members only. Lol

Glad you survived the trip Fish. Thanks so much for making the run for us. Now try not to over do it until next weekend. Really looking forward to it.

How many hand planers do we have coming? I saw today I can rent one from Home Depot...

I got a manual hand planer, I was talking abt an electric door planer.

OK builders, I'm kicking a idea around due to the weather and to save time that we will need.

We will be needing a tent. So, I will hit Harbor Freight and buy a couple cheap tarps. I then can make up some post. I do have some of the lumber for that now but will have to buy a little more.

The other idea is to start cutting up everything before hand(plywood and 1x4's). I will leave one set of the plywood not done that way I can show everybody how I do it. Only problem with that would be how each person wants to build to the size they want. Now if I go all in, the pirogues would be around 13'6" + or - a inch or two finish with 9" to 10" sides. This size will fit two people easy with gear or work out great with just one person.

So, please all builders call me on my cell phone ASAP.

One other thing. If any of y'all would like to come tomorrow to help cutting everything up, call me. I could use the help, getting a bit slow now from burning the candle from both ends the last couple days.

Next weeks infusion I will try to put it off till Thursday if I can for that extra boost for the weekend. I don't know if that will fly though.

I can't meet tomorrow but I am down for whatever else. Standard boat sizes, tent rental, etc. it all works for me...

Fish,

I know we talked on the phone but just so it's written down, I'd like the longest and deepest we can make it.

Unfortunately I can't come tomorrow to help. If it weren't the day before my surgery, I'd be there though.

Pepperidge's idea is a good one but if we can't get it, I have a cover for a 20' "tarp carport/boat cover" that I never used(threw the poles away a couple years ago but kept the cover). I'll bring that.
