To Build a Boat (kit) day 11

…or 5 important questions.

#1 – WHO?

respiratingAn afflicted human from the “Are you my Mummy” episode of Dr. Who? Your Grandma after just inhaling some questionably legal therapeutic vapours? The author after a week of left-over baked beans? Naw, just me at the end of a long day with the epoxy.

#2 – WHAT?

epoxyingThe craft table at your local kindergarten? Sunday morning of frosh week? Naw, just the garbage I generated today boat building.

#3 – WHERE?

boat tentSomewhere between the Euphrates and the mountains of Armenia? (we were never really told where the ark was built but surely it was in a great big tent in case it didn’t get finished before the rains started) The main tent at next year’s Stanfest (Stan Rogers folk festival in Canso NS), ready for any kind of weather? Naw, just my expedition wherry. I didn’t move it to the barn as planned because I wanted to get some work done, having had another late start today. Maybe I’ll row it into the barn room tomorrow.

#4 – WHEN?

Today, September 2nd. Eleven days in.

#5 – WHY?

bulkhead #5Why indeed. Because I’m a sucker for punishment? Naw, because I can, I suppose. Because I love boats and wood and puzzles and a good challenge. Because I love beautiful things.
