Yeah I think there's a front bringing cold rain that's gonna hit in the early morning. Supposed to be pretty nasty. I don't do cold very well. Don't know how them boys up north handle it.
I'm trying to track down some marine ply can't find any locally. Bout to order my glassing material from express.

Hey YDOC462 I can ask a friend of mine that works at a lumber yard if he knows where we can get some. I think my cousin had to go to Baton Rouge to get his when he built his wooden boat, I'll find out for sure and let you know.

Well i've been making some headway on the Vandal. I had the hull sanded and I thought I had a picture but I didnt, but this is what I got done. I laid a layer of csm on the pad and up the hull a little bit. Got the stingers cut and bedded down and was waiting on some cab-o-sil to fill voids around stringers, just got my supplies at 5pm. Also got tramsom in but not finished glassing it in all the way, so here is some pics, enjoy.
