| Here's Dave, performing his ceremonial duties. |
At 10 am, Saturday 9th of October, we had a Groundbreaking ceremony where the first piece of timber was cut in anger. Unfortunately the mayor of Wellington is currently tied up in thrilling mayoral election campaign, so we had to settle for the next best thing. Dave from Placemakers in Kaiwharawhara stepped up and performed the duty.
The timber in question is actually fence posts for the Strongback. They don't provide this stuff in the kit as most builders have plenty of this lying around in their garage. Not being most builders, I have old bikes and bits of my son's car lying around my garage.
Chris doesn't even have a garage.

Follow the transformation of these fence posts as they become a snooker table flat surface to build the boat on. (Come to think of it, I have a pool table in the room above the garage, I better not mention that to Chris.)
Millzy...love the blog..I will be a regular reader....is it designed to take a sliding seat?
ReplyDeleteNo, but you can drop in a rig with sliding seats, its like a gullwing type model - it comes with riggers and slide and seat in a single unit. They are about 800 bucks though.
ReplyDeleteFor the Waikato row, we are going to row old-school. Given that we are both old. I think we may still be looking for a support crew, someone with a car like yours.
