outside of the jig. Lately however, I have spied two little ones
about the size of a squirrel which now has me thinking that Maurice
may instead be a Mariette. Either way, they are safe for the next few
weeks as I will not remove my stored bulkheads before that time thus
they can continue to benefit from a "roof" over their burrow.
Today,it's back to the fillet pieces and further work to get the
bottom all done for its last flip.The weather has improved!!!

An amazing sight Peter. I can now understand your previous
intrepidation about the sheer awkwardness of the shape to flip!
Well done.
I looked for the critter in your pix, but it seems to have hid.
