[QUOTE="Steph Boeker, post: 500292, member: 32953"] This is very reassuring to hear you say that. I just picked up my new bottles that have been a week in being filled and returned. (I'm so rural there are no walk-up bottle fill company's w/in and hour & a 1/2 from me) Anyway, I've actually taken a break from the boat restoration during that time. I cut a place out and added new stairs to the end of my deck w/ shallow steps to help me w/ my disability. The ramp on the front of the deck is fine but i have to walk out from under the 25' carport cover to enter it. Ppl tease me about having to park, or walk out in the rain to walk back up out of the rain into the covered deck that the carport was added on to. I also needed to get the 16' radial armsaw out of the middle of my second bay and bolted to the south wall, creating more room for parking and/or project builds on that end of the carport. I cut off about a 1-1/2' on each end so now I have a 12-1/2' (RAS), creating all kinds of space. I R&R'd the countertop from puffed up like a spunge MDF to doubled up 3/4" plywood. I've stayed busy and now that i got my bottles back, I can work on the trailer restoration of the axle and the boat additions in the next couple weeks. The rest of my stickers (boat name, Reg. #) will be printed & ready for pick-up next week. By then I'll have a couple more coats on the boat and all the touch-up done. I'll start practicing the aluminum mig on scrap pcs soon. Thank for your generous and very reassuring pcs of advice. I'll keep it in mind and attack this portion of the project w/ a bit more confidence. Sincerely ....................... God bless. [/QUOTE]
