Title: The heat got me ......but it's done now
Post by: Mike8560 on June 13, 2011, 08:27:47 pm
Instaled a top on this mainship today and then  a dash cover and  a mesh cabinn window covered was going to install the windows but it was lunchtime. 95• out and the thought of installing all the enclosure windows with turnbuttons getting hotter and hotter inside with each window didn't turn me on  doing ot in the morning when it's cooler sounded beter.

Awesome, not many people know that I installed boat canvas full time for a summer in North Jersey.  My parents found me a job while I was off from school with, of all people, customers of ours who we sell sewing machines to. 

First few days I was getting my sea legs (in my case my dock legs I guess) and the shower would spin when I closed my eyes. 

Sure your on the water, but if your on the bay side, early morning, it can get damn hot and humid. 

I was working on a lot of yaprimarilyimarly Silverton.  It was a great job, and great people to work with where I was at.

You need to get an indoor job Mike. :) Although I envy the great scenery you must enjoy. 8) Today's the first day I ran the AC all day long.

Great looking job.

Awesome work Mike. You are the master.

I just bought a HyperKewl vest to wear. It works pretty decent. Soak it in water for 5 minutes, wring it out
and throw it on. Last's about 3 to 4 hours.
