:wink: Dave I have been where you are and you are doing what you need to do get back up and continue with your life. things do recover but not if you don't make them happen so push forward and god willing things will right themselves out. I know losing loved ones hurts I have lost 2 wives a girl friend and a mother in last 10 years but they would want you to continue. So good for you for getting back on the horse so to speak. :wink:

Dave, the next job you find will probably be better than the last one, so that can be a positive.
Rest assured there is another Angel in heaven.

True, most of the dust in finishing not come from the shop floor, it comes from you. I used to be auto body painter and found that the dust finally went away when I put on one of those white plastic overall outfits. It looked like a radioactive protective suit. That cured the dust in my spray painting. It is amazing how much dust comes from your clothes.

Yes, one more in heaven arguing with her mother and catching up with my 4 sisters that went before me.

I like the coveralls rather than what I heard one person do - his birthday suit. :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

Waiting for the VIDEO on your launch, Dave!!!!!

Congrats on your build.

(Building one was on my list, but there were about three other boats in front of it. I am ashamed to admit this, but I just cashed in a bunch of Air Miles to buy a plastic SUP and Paddle to be delivered to my house, ready to go... It should arrive any day.... Heaven knows, with Air Canada, you can NEVER use your miles to actually fly somewhere you want to go when you want to go there)

She is only covered with some material. My wife and I are making a slip cover for her to protect the finish from the boat cover while she is in the slip.

what do you do with that SUP? You tow it behind Riviera like a wakeboard? Stand up on it like a big waterski??
