Day 1: Setting up the "Shipyard"

January 18th, 2013

    Today, we take the first baby steps to adventure! We have the skeleton mapped out on our graph paper and we've cleaned off the back porch to make way for the lumber and setting up the skeleton. Since it will only take up 10', it shouldn't be an issue keeping it in our area. Our Shopping list for the today was:

- 1 tube of construction adhesive
- 2, 4x8 sheets of Cabinet grade 3/4 inch plywood
- a ruler and a Square
- Zipties

We decided at the store to spend the extra cash to go ahead and do the whole spine in the NICE plywood. I was an extra $10 a sheet, but we want this boat to last and LOOK very nice. So we splurged an extra $10 and loaded up. We had a tough time tying it to the car but we got it fixed pretty quick and unloaded at the house. Tomorrow we begin marking and hopefully, cutting the pieces!
