I've finished the easy part (just lay strips on top of each other), and thankfully, the stem shaping (whoo hoo!).
Now comes the hard part where I have to bevel both ends of each strip to fit with its surrounding material. Did the first two strips that required this tonight. Once I decided how to do it, it wasn't too bad. Some pictures....
Realized a while ago that the "hull + deck before moving" goal was way too ambitious. I have scaled back to a probably possible, but still ambitious, goal of: hull finished and outside of hull glassed before move.
The great news is, there's a garage where I'll be moving to! !!! So it should be very convenient to continue working on the boat. yay!

Well, the thingy is really starting to look
like a boat! How cute!
How sexy? Well, maybe if one lived in Seattle,
had no nose and no tail, and inhaled a lot of
chemical fumes.
At any rate, Ms. Noah, I am very proud of you and
hope that the garage has great ventilation as you
continue to work on The Ark.
Love, Hanako
