I found some brackets that I was able to put on a wheel that belonged to a fan that's been modified to have ceiling fan blades attached to them. I just knew my odds and ends would come in handy one day.
I turned the boat over and prepared it for hurricane Irma. I doubt the boat would have remained intact if the hurricane was a category 2 like hurricane Mathews was a year ago. Fortunately for us, the hurricane turned I.To a tropical storm when it reached Georgia. I'm getting ready to turn the boat back over again so I can finish securing the " Noodles" onto the bottom of the hull! The boat sits up nice and high which is an add plus besides the boat being buoyant. I
It rained yesterday but the"Noodles" remained a tight bond even though there was wet adhesive. I removed more soft adhesive and the "Noodles" were stll bonded together. Applying the sealant helped. I finally bout 3 cans of rubber coating and well applying another coat before I start working on the other side.
I was finally able to work on the boat after having days of rain. I'm really making a lot of progress. I'm using wood glue to attach thin fronds to fill in gaps that's between the thick fronds. I was thinking how it's a work of art but it also have to float, inorder to be a functional work of art. I'm still waiting to buy the heavy duty glue to use as a strengthener. I still have to add more fronds to both sides of the boat, which is the bow (front) and the stern. (back)
