Started the $200 sailboat

Had a couple of hours after spring yard work Sunday so the boys & I cleaned the shop & started cutting ply for Dave Carnell's $200 sailboat. 
 
Have high hopes but am concerned whether the sequence of events is an omen or just Oregon weather:
Dry winter, no snow, lakes will be low ... early warm spring, snow melts, ski area closes before spring vacation ... sunny 70 degree days, get yard in shape, mow, trim & clean ... start $200 sailboat ... 35 and snowing.
 
Good thing boat builders are optimists,
Larry
