okay now to the next step on the decks a

beautiful day

early in the morning planes all takeoff

about nine o'clock

these three that's a center

you can see I've planted all the debts

now creeping my way down this way so I

need to excavate these out of the decks

today and start prepping for the new

patches actually these are 20 by 20

hatches and they are over 20 years old

look at this spidery

they gotta go so what we're doing is

we've upgraded we're doing 24 by 24 so

I've got to build the deck up a little

bit to accept them we got a little bit

of curvature on the cabin top here so

we'll get them cut out see how much I

need to build I can see that the

previous ones when they they had to do

some building here so I know I'm gonna

have to do quite a bit more with the

larger hatch

[Music]

first hatch of three today what I've

done is cleaned up this edge in this

edge got it down to the bare structure

I've left this and this it's a waste of

time you can see my new cutout right

here that's the new hatch so we're going

from a 2.7 square foot hatch to a 4

square foot hatch so that's quite a bit

of light and air flow into the cabin

it's gonna be nice so here's the new

hatch look at this monster these are the

Vitas Magnus

as for dogs let's open this thing up

push this upside down right now but

holds itself in the position look at

this no hardware here it's nice okay I

just finished cutting

the first hatch in

I used a skill saw just to cut the

straight lines then used a vibratory saw

to nip the corners now I'll I'll grind

this radius in but there we go

one more piece off the vote trying to

take advantage of all this nice weather

get much as I can outside okay first one

fits in the hall

[Music]

[Music]

okay here's the second one for today

first one second one

one more to go

the days running short I may do this um

tomorrow we'll see it's getting hot out

it looks nice in the water

[Applause]

last half today get this one for out hey

Emma come say goodbye to this hatch

still going away

man what down

doesn't matter damaging the definitely

hey no pressure this is the last of the

jewelry we will recut into these new

ones

you think we can solve it oh my god okay

oh my god

look at that yep that just came off

right here yeah I know it's all filler

that's all coming out anyway

I know except that I said I'm cutting

this back right through all this okay

I'll clean all that up yep good job

every day I picked Erin the salon apart

trying to get these hatches and windows

all done we're wide open

kind of weird my project right now is

I've been painting the decks

I have windows out hatch out these

hatches are all loose everything's out

I've been this was the original decks

here and I'm fairing him out laying

glass cloth and priming and painting I'm

working on these right now I set them in

just to give some paint in there for

last night but putting in three new

hatches

we had twenty by twenty patches in there

before and we up the size to 24 by 24 so

we went from 2.7 square feet up to four

square feet okay

how you doing in there

I'll try not to drop stuff on you so

this is my project today I've built up

the decks around them to accept a flat

hatch on a curved surface so now I'm

sanding fairing I'll sand all this out

ferret smooth and then let glass cloth

up over here that's my project for today

then tomorrow I'll fare all this outs

and everything and the following day I

should be able to prime and paint and

then I'll bring the paint to here then

the next job will be this big window

Bank here well done we have a thousand

square feet of surface to refinish and

we're on the tail end right here

but this tail end is a lot a lot of

detail to it but it's a nice day it's

Friday

I'll have help tomorrow little be off

for the weekend so we'll really get some

work done

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

got to keep the dust down clean my

filter twice a day all the sanding out

there

by cleaning this I'm able to capture

gotta be 99.5% of the dust very rarely

does indigo Airport system works pretty

good once I get this clean I'll show you

how it works

[Music]

one time break huh

what are we having leftovers mm-hmm what

is it mashed potatoes and pork chops

okay dig in

it's not Wow

I just laid a town slaw over the hatch

combing so it handed it all out earlier

now I just laid the cloth on I use

West's system epoxy and one continuous

piece around so what I do is I run it

wild this I'll leave it till it fires

off and I'll trim that off after its

fired but right before it fires off

right through here I could trim this

with a razor to get a nice crisp edge

and I'll do that here probably in about

10-15 minutes depending on how fast this

kicks then then I'll sand it out fare it

and prep this area for paint we're about

done

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

it's time to get out there and trim I

always use a nice fresh razor baby wipes

very important one brand that I've found

for it's the best target unscented I

don't know why but it just wipes that

epoxy clean off your hands

who knows what's in it so I always have

these on the ready so what do I do I put

a factory edge on the top here it'll

blend into the deck nice but this is

really crazy wild so right as it before

it kicks I come out I bring it out

probably about a good inch inch and a

half to score a nice line

and you can see I got the sweet spot

right here it's sticking hard but not

enough that I can't peel it off

put that in the garbage come back the

baby wipe and clean up

we look down that edge it's just a

perfect nice clean edge now it would be

much easier to fare out cleaner the edge

the less sanding you have okay let's do

another one

this one was on the sunny side so it's

kicking a lot faster

there we go

and that's how I do glass work and I

pretty much copy that same method dead

to scale doesn't matter it's a small

pore or a huge park I do the same thing

right before it kicks I could trim it

right where I need and look about Chris

you could get this line with all these

jagged burrs that are just murdered a

stand out this is make it nice and easy

now I'll leave the rest of this till it

totally fires off that's come along and

I score it right off and I'll be able to

ease that edge and have a nice

waterproof cement wait for this epoxy to

cure about another hour before I could

trim them up getting kind of warm so

where are we going where do you want to

do okay

which one you want the big under the

small one okay I'll get it for you

Thomas wants to go too I think I'll grab

him to sing it here's your board

okay just stick around back here like

this

okay there you go

[Music]

over here

that'll cool you off

[Music]

okay should have fired off now yep so

then I could go back

and trim this off

let that cure overnight and sand it

smooth good morning

linen Emma just ran some errands and I'm

gonna do the final faring on our three

new hatches here getting the salon

dissolve protected I'm gonna go out here

and you see little fairing compound here

I'm gonna continue that all the way up

to here and sand it all out nice and

smooth so I could prime it paint

tomorrow got another nice day nice and

calm no wind it's good to work

[Music]

okay skim coated the first layer on now

and lightly sanded

so I skim coat it one more time and then

sand it out and I will be done ready for

paint tomorrow

it's gonna paint from that line down to

this window Bank here this whole windows

coming out but I'm gonna reshape the

window could be a pretty major project

so I want to just get everything in

repaint all this get all the hatches in

get the windows in and then tackle this

that's the game plan another weekend the

project he'll be handing all morning

I see a lot of filler a lot of sandpaper

right out

and now wait for the new head become it

and now we're just kind of fairing

through everything because everything is

nice and smooth

at all

while

with the build-up and then in divert the

water

anyway so we're really lucky

Oh everything's done got it all fared

and sanded and ready to go so now paint

I'll prime it and paint it this morning

doing it early it's gonna be a hot bake

it give it a chance to bake on all day

long

this is County report card see how well

you did put a layer of paint on it shows

every little ripple and defect so we'll

see how I did I'm pretty happy that

[Music]

good X again and whiter everything's

covered now next is these hatches are

just sitting in here I'm gonna pull all
