[Rhodes22-list] Installation of Tools & Toys

[michael meltzer]

Personal option,

"why does a professionals work generally look better than a homeowners",
..... because the professional is not doing it for the first time in their
own house :-)
  
Their nothing hard about boat work, just some strange rules that are not
oblivious, like to drill into fiberglass is a few steep process so you wreck
the glass, create a leak or rot/compress the core. Worst yet, generally you
only get one change to get it right with quickly learning the "art" of gel
coat repair :-)

It going to cost you some reading/question and answer time, and I would stay
away from exposed surfaces

Subject: [Rhodes22-list] Installation of Tools & Toys

Hi Rhodies,
 
I am looking forward to taking delivery of my Recycled 84 Rhodes sometime
this Spring.
 
Knowing the joys and frustrations of doing some things for yourself, I am
entertaining the idea of fabricating and installing some of the tools and
toys on the Rhodes 22 Super Options List over time as they become necessary
for my sailing  and overnighting needs.
 
Would you be kind enough to share your experiences of installing Tools on
Toys on your Rhodes, and rate the level of difficulty?
It is all subjective and relative to one skill level, but it would make some
good reading, and be helpful to the many newbies like myself.
 
Having some welding and fabricating skill (which I have not used for a long
time), I am even thinking about building a Boom Room similar to the one Art
builds and has posted on this list sometime back.
 
Thanks in anticipation for you kind response.
 
Caesar
