I want to know how you're getting so much accomplished so quickly! Are you working on this 24/7?

I'm a lawyer - I work about 55 hours a week. I do 1 thing on the boat every morning before work and 1 thing after work. Then usually 10 hours on the weekend if my girls (6&8) allow me! Plus I'm obsessed! Everyone who knows me can't believe I'm doing this project I have zero mechanical ability I pay to have my oil changed in my car
but I'm reading and learning and applying that to each task- it is fun and I actually have a callous after 37 years of life!!

Ahh, to be young again...
The rewards will certainly pay off with the end result!

No sir- they did a nice job on the boat but it was just a big mess that I finally got done cleaning-

Any pictures taken of the boat after she's been soda blasted? Interested to see how she looks.

Well, I am seriously impressed at how much you're getting accomplished with such limited time and experience! Doesn't even look like you've made any big mistakes.
It's fun following along.
