Sounds like boat-building is the gateway to alcoholism.

All boosted beverages allowed! My only exception would be with the
Aqua Velva and shoe polish boys.There ain't a program yet with
enough steps to help those puppies!

Aqua Velva mixed with Sprite is a big hit with some of my lady

full-bodied reds in keeping with the spaghetti sauce accents on the

Alrighty folks,what's with all the gnashing of teeth and groanings
for aid.Amateur boatbuilding is not a disease :-)
But if a "12 step" program works for you,try this one out for size:
1)decide what type of boat you need(row,sail,power etc..)
2)check out as many plan sources as possible(webpages,classified
section of boating magazines etc..)
3)order study plans for your top 6 choices(important to limit it to
6 only)
4)buy six-pack of your favorite beer,bottles only.
5)lay out your 6 top choices of study plans in a circle,on the
floor,in your favorite room.
6)drink one beer.When finished,place bottle in middle of study plan
circle and spin it clockwise(anti-clockwise for you antipodeans:-D )
7)Immediately discard the study plan the spinning bottle points to
when it stops spinning.
8)Repeat step 7 until only one study plan remains.This will be your
next boat to build!
9)buy one top-shelf bottle of your favorite hooch and celebrate
right away.It is important to do this immediately following the
final choice.
10)as soon as reasonably possible,proceed with the purchasing of
lumber,supplies etc for your boat.
11)begin building as much as possible as supplies allow.It is
permissible to further enjoy the fruits of your labours with
medicinal doses of your favorite juice at this point.Do not stop
building until you launch.
12)repeat steps 1 through 11 when time permits but only AFTER the
first boat is launched! This is important to keep follow!
BONUS STEP!(13) Take lots of pictures to share with friends on the
net,have fun,enjoy the building process and fertheloveofchrist quit
being such a big baby whinning about every little screw-up you do.It
ain't gonna sink on ya tomorrow:-)
