  • Bank of Montreal @ the JunctionJanuary 9, 2021
    I say it a couple times every year. I need to take more photos. So today I took out the camera, blew off the dust and I’ve decided to start up a photo blog again.

  • Its Fiberglassing Time!October 10, 2020
    First time fiberglassing. There seemed to be two methods. The CLC method of doing sections at a time and Nick Schade’s method of saturating the fiberglass everywhere and coming back to squeeze out the excess. I had estimated this step would take a bit over an hour based in Nick Schade’s video. Well, the Sabalo … Read More “Its Fiberglassing Time!” »
