Thing slowed down

Had some personal thing to attend to. My sisters memorial on Sunday Sept 1. Then on Monday I took the wrong plywood to Lowes and got a new sheet. No cost. I still had to make a new pattern and cut it out. Got that done and stained. The varnish was slow to dry. Wish I had used lacquer. Would have been fast drying.

Rain off an on with close to 8 inches Saturday and Sunday. When it slowed down we hauled the finished panels to the boat Monday evening. Went to the boat this am to get the walls and bulkhead installed.

Things are fitting pretty close but there is some adjustment in the compression post that needs to be done.

Now for my very unhappy bimini. Its a Taylor Made product that is about as sorry as they come. I had it installed and adjusted correctly. Well when it rained it started stretching. Each time it rains it get worse. I am going to contact the company that I purchased it from Wholesale Marine dot com. I can't find where there is any guarantee. It is also very faded on the top. Look 10 years old. Here is a shot with about 2 gallons of water.
