I have been away from the project for quite some time now. My camera stopped working but the only pictures I could add to this site would be of me sanding fiberglass. The economy has hurt also ... by keeping me from being able to buy materials. I need to seal & paint the deck to keep water out of the bilge before I replace any interior wood. Hopefully I will get back to work soon !!!
New Home for Old Boat
After 45 min. of "white-knuckle" driving, "The Beast" is home
About Me
- Deep South Sailboat Restoration
- I am a 49 year old single man with an assortment of hobbies and interests. I graduated from Cy-Fair High School outside of Houston, TX and attended various colleges. I have been a carpenter for many years because I love to build things and as my first boss told me "Damn-it Jimmy, you only have to be smarter than the wood". I am in a couple of bands including: Driftwood(liquiddaddy.com), Black Market Band, and The Deciples. We perform every year at the Houston Art Car Parade (pulled in a trailer by Venus in her 1974 caddy "Hairse") we also host an open mic night at "The Olmos Bharmacy" in San Antonio. I play guitar and piano (not at the same time) and I sing lead and backing vocals. I am teaching myself to play the bagpipes and the digereedoo (again not at the same time) however, my debut on these instruments is a long way off. I am starting a boat restoration company because I have worked in custom homes, building cabinets and installing interior trim, for over 10 years and I needed a change of pace. I love the look of large sailboats and felt that I could apply my knowledge to a new industry.
