hey guys

welcome back to sp basic

looking good it is i feel real good

about this hard top project

got a few things to button it up but

it's coming along nicely

you know everything's working as planned

the rain is shedding off nicely going

where we want it to

it feels sturdy and i couldn't be

happier with it well

there is one glaring problem with this

whole build yes i know i know

is that we still don't have sun coverage

and protection over the hill this was

the main reason why we decided to stop

and do this because

we were so wind burned and sunburned

so where is it teal well let me let me

explain

we couldn't even do anything over the

helm until we finished

the main cover now it gives us plenty of

options we could have a soft canvas but

many up here

with eyes and glass we could put a hard

top up here

and you know it gives us options we have

options

i know we need to get on it don't we

yeah i want to get back in the water so

we got to get back

we have to make a decision and figure

out what we want to do well don't worry

i have a plan always a plan

[Music]

teal this is starting to feel like

groundhog's day

yeah but it's like one quarter groundhog

day

okay quarter scale to the other one so

this one's going fast

is it by whose standards oh come on

just a little bit each day i'm not

really spending much time on this one

it's just mostly just cure time at this

point it feels almost

miniature after what we did i know it's

kind of fun doing this because it's

going so fast

we're just a couple days into this

working an hour to a day on it

it's like on the tail end it's weird how

much more

work four times bigger hardtop was

it's not wasn't four times the work it

was probably

20 times the word well the weather's

getting nicer too

so things are kicking a lot faster than

it was when we were doing the big one

yeah i guess okay you ready to help me

yes i am your trusted assistant

are you trusted i'm trustee

something i don't know

i'm your assistant that's all you have

beggars can't be choosers

mister

[Music]

so

[Music]

[Music]

right there

[Music]

[Music]

so we got a little squall coming through

here

lynn and i just ran out in the rain

and picked up our

little hard top above the helm it had

flown

20 feet and

landed behind the boat it was

crazy

well it's nice and calm now

got up early this morning kind of

cleaned up

our work area put the hard top back up

[Music]

boy that win last night just this front

came across us

and just we had our project

facing right here pick this thing up

threw it right over there

when it went by it hit here

that's the only scuff i got on that

but it went airborne and when it landed

in the gravel

look at that got a little dent there

and a little dent there i only have one

thin layer over this edging so far i

have to i'm planning to put three

well i'll fare this out before the next

layers

it was just really interesting weather

just came down

in buckets weather picked up and

just it was short-lived luckily

but you can see the whole marina

everything's tipped over

ladders everywhere just debris scattered

check the weather it was blowing a

sustained 36 and

i don't know what it was gusting to but

i mean ladders are down everywhere

just came and went should have strapped

it down last night but

i just put that layer of epoxy down and

i thought it was just a little too tacky

still so i didn't strap it

i usually do oh well i learned

that's what i get for having such a

light substrate that i'm working with it

just turns into a kite

[Music]

okay i'll get the decks dried off and

get to work

there he is sanding out that damage from

last night's storm

that thing took off like a kite

nothing a little quick bear can't fix

i know we were supposed to do some more

glassing but we had to

fix this damage first but it looks good

feels good look at that

you can see it but you can't feel it

[Music]

there we go oh the joys of being

in the boatyard

every day is a joy

it is

so you figured it out yet

are you just enjoying it you enjoying

the shade

the shade is nice it's weird sitting

here with

nothing over me i meant sky

i don't imagine when i started making

the the side curtains and

some protection this is going to be so

sweet

i think it's going to work a couple of

things to think about but it's all going

to work out i think

i just got to figure out these post

locations get some glass on this

and get this thing bolted in

okay let's start glassing let's do it

we've been bouncing from one project to

another

spending a few hours each day on each

the hardtop was our most extensive

project during this haul

out so we dedicated any available hours

towards its completion

at this stage we are sanding and faring

the top side

which only chews up about a third of

each day

as the next layer of multi-part fairing

compound cures

we can shift over to other projects

after multiple days of this repetitive

process

the seam between the hard top and the

coach roof slowly disappears

this process is painstakingly slow

alternating between belt sanders to

orbital sanders

and then hand sanding

i think you're getting some sun your

nose is a little red

[Laughter]

feels good it does feel good but

i think it's time to put on some sun

protection

it's winter uh no

it's not

it's almost sexual how you uh keep

touching this

i'm editing that out thank you

just saying you're a lucky woman

[Laughter]

i sure am

there was an incredible amount of work

needed to ensure that this seam melts

away

and with time and patience it did just

that

[Music]

we're in a good position to lay down our

first barrier coat

and with this beautiful stretch of nice

weather abruptly slamming closed

it was time so we mixed up a small batch

of interlux 2000e epoxy primer and got

to work

rolling out the first coat is like

getting your grade on a college term

paper

this is your report card and i have to

say

i felt like the valedictorian it looked

amazing

so what you're seeing right now is teal

trying to scramble

because i told them we need to go in the

water soon

and i don't know if you remember back

when we were in westport

we were in a big storm and we took a

little bit

of wear on our paint looks like 2020 is

starting off with a big bang

because we got another winter system

hitting us here

and it's popping in close to 50 i would

think

it's hard to stand on the deck right now

i mean look at this

[Music]

okay this storm hit us with a punch last

night

it's blowing force 10 out here right now

okay it's getting violent out here

this has got to be below mid 50s gusting

to 60 has to be

i'll check it on the weather station

here in a second

you know what's crazy out here when you

gotta get

geared up just to check your lines on

the dock

[Music]

everything seems to be holding nicely

it's blowing about

mid 50s

we're lace to the dock nicely it's doing

much better about 40 45 i would say

outside

but it feels much better that's much

better than last night last night it was

like 63.

yeah today we hit 60 once but

i think we'll sleep well so teal

is taking this opportunity to stand

things out and start painting

because it bugs him so much funds me it

loves you

it doesn't matter you've been this week

paint that paint that

well i know you want to and so i told

you

this is your last opportunity before we

splash

you want to show the little bit of

damage yeah so

i'm scuffing this surface right now

taped it off we're just going to paint

from here

to the chime on this hole when we were

on the

dock and left part our fenders

were just squished flat and they took

look at this it wore through three

layers of paint

so we want to get another couple layers

of paint on here just to give us a

little more

coverage so while we're on the hard

we'll be bouncing back and forth from

the hard top to the little hard top

while those things are curing each day

we'll start our painting projects

we have you know top coat we're going to

be working on the bootstrap

and uh bottom paint all in the next week

and a half or so try to get all this

buttoned up

you hear compass lighting up because

teal tapped on the boat

he is our vicious guard dog for sure

emma's not going to be too happy takes

him a while to calm down

yep here she comes

you think we're gonna paint today yeah

we'll get the first coat on today

another coat tomorrow and

see how it looks

grab some sandpaper let's go i can't

reach so i will assist

and see if you missed any spots i'll get

you a step ladder

all right fine

well it looks like we all have the same

idea of painting today

there's a ruth and garrett next to us

and

they're doing a bottom paint and

also refreshing their uh

beautiful lipstick red it's sexy

it is sexy how did it go

this is the first layer you liking it

yeah lay down nice

perfect day not too hot just a little

breeze
