Thank you Boog. I really don't know in actual hours. It was built from scratch with a planked up hull, deckhouse, and pilot house. Most of the fittings were made up, the deck laid in individual strips, and each door made to fit. (The tops and bottoms of these doors have slightly different angles due to the deck and roof angles.)
I do know it was a couple of years off and on. :)

My health is improving. Still bad but I can eat solid food again (woo hoo!) and the wreck could have been worse. I walked away without a scratch.

I guess it goes to show that it's hard to kill stupid people.

FleetsidePaul I'm glad you're doing OK.

Ring around the moon tonight in the San Antonio and hill country area. It is pretty neat-o. That is Jupiter near the moon. The blue dot is just a camera artifact of some sort.

Pretty amazing when you think about how far away Jupiter is and we can see it

Maybe it's that tool bag the space guys lost up there when they were doing some repairs on the outside of the ship the other day , apparently you can see it with a good pair of binoculars moving up there somewhere , it's a shiny material.
It's only a $100,000 tool bag https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATYp5mT0m7E

Beautifully done. None of the wooden tugs I've worked on looked nearly as good as yours do. I understand firsthand the door construction found you mentioned. They're lots of hours to replicate in 1:1 let alone in miniature.

Thank you Pete.

Even though I'm "...from away," (I've only been here since '78,) and know I'll never be a true "Mainah", I expect to stay. Too many roots too deep now, besides, I can't think of anywhere I'd rather be. :)

You all heard "Drive on the parkway and park on the driveway". Now we have "Park in the loading zone and load in the parking lot"
