A little more progress

Post by stone »

Got all of my windows glassed up. Will be installing three round bronze ports. Not sure what size yet ,but probally six or eight inch. Went ahead and glassed up my hull to deck joint as well since I am replacing my teak toe rail and since it was off .... you know how that goes!

Oh yeah, speaking of Shop Vacs that 2 gallon Dewalt is brilliant. Runs off 110v or 18v battery.

Thanks for the update! I'm looking forward to watching the transformation.

I like the idea of the battery-powered vacuum; I've looked at those a few times, but had never heard any real-world experiences. Does the vac come with batteries (or a battery) when you buy it? Might be a good excuse for me to get one.

This is how the mind of the tool-obsessed must operate.

Tim, I think there are two different models of vacs. The two gallon like mine does not come with a battery($99/Home Depot). There is also a one gallon that came with a battery (149.00). I have alot of Dewalt stuff so have plenty of batterys and I thought the two gallon would be more useful for the boat. I only had to walk by it twice before I picked it up :)
