Big hole & no more teak :) (Patreon)

Good news! I got the key to a shed. Yay! I'm not ready to be moved in there yet, but it's still great news :) That means I should be able to completely finish the deck this summer. 

Now in not so great news. I've discovered tons of old wet foam under the false bottom in the bilge. It turns out the bilge is over 4 ft deep, and all of that is stuffed full with expanding foam. In this video, I only discover the foam. The removal of it is going to be in next weekends video. I've spent all of today removing about half the foam. Not a fun job ;) I'll post a picture a little later.

And in the category of could be bad, could be okay. When I removed the old teak in the cockpit, I found some stress cracks (maybe) in the laminate. I'll reach out to Andy from Boatworks Today :) I still haven't figured out if I'm going to "just" paint the cockpit or if I want to put down new teak. 

Finally in completely other news. Jökull my Icelandic sheepdog is at a sleepover at his girlfriend's house. With a little bit of luck, there'll be puppies later this summer :)

Have an awesome sunday! :)
