Costs

Just calculated that so far I have spent:
- materials and specific tools that I will not ever use elsewhere = LVL192 (EUR272, USD354)
- shop rent summer'11 = LVL120
- rest of the tools I do not count as either I already had them before this project or (like cordless drill) they are useful around the house and I would have those anyway.

The hours I estimate around 100 so far, with my current salary... that's a lot in money terms!!!

Bottom planking

Yesterday I realised that in order to shape a symmetric front on the boat I need to know how the bottom will look like, so I decided to start bottom planking as well. The fitting seems pretty easy, at least on the aft.

Bought some 9mm plywood for this. Also bought 200 pcs Torx head SS screws for bottom planking which I intend to leave in the boat contrary to the side plank screws.
