Great photos and a really nice looking building site. I think your
bottom looks as nice as Peters, if not nicer:-)
Look forward to following your progress. Keep us posted and all the
best to the Verchere Gang from snowy British Columbia.
Bon chance!

A year ago, I was proud to invite those interested to visit my photo site on a new
Champlain being built in Québec. (See below the original message along with Peter's
comments on the Verchere Gang very good support....)
New photos have been added recently with some others explaining why not much has
been done last winter.......
Winter is at our door again, but I hope to be more productive this year with some pieces
being done in my workshop (doors, etc)
Have a nice visit at

Re: Verchere Gang strikes again!
Thank you Peter for your help and for sharing your photos (and comments..)
with all of us. Your entousiasm and good sense of humour are a great boost
for those of us working long hours, not knowing for sure if we will realize our
goal through all the sanding sessions still ahead.
And many thanks to those of you whose comments let me realize that we
share the same dream....one way or the other.
Contrary to Peter's comment though, I don't think it's my shiness that delays
sharing my experience with others. But from time to time, I do procrastinate,
and I enjoy doing that I think, and otherwise, I take my time....Therefore,
progresses are very slow, so there's no point to raise public interest too
early.......(I know, I have to deal with that issue with my friends and
relatives
who already are eager to go on cruising aboard Champlain......)
Anyway, I bought the plan from Bolger in 2000,built the shelter, upon
retirement, in 2003, and started scarfing and assembling all those nice pieces
of MDO in september 2004. Why not earlier in 2004 is still a mystery for me
too! So, the bottom having been built and turned over in 2005, not much more
will be achieved this Autumn before closing for Winter.
So the sides will be erected sometimes in 2006, hopefully before next July,
(It's not a promise but....)
Those of you interested in following more closely my past (and future)
progress may, regularly, look at the various photos posted at
http://ca.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/paul6mard/my_photos
(You may wish to have a closer look at the driving column built last winter as a
boost to finish the project. )
By the way, Yahoo photos albums seems to me a better place than Yahoo
group files to keep photos avalaible to all since you can look at them all at
the same time, it's free and there is no limit of space......Otherwise, my
progress would have been spread out from Bolger 4 to Bolger 19 I guess!
This Winter, I intend to build the table, just to keep me ready for next Spring.
I will keep you informed of the launching date, but be patient!
In the mean time, you may always come and visit me for some sanding
sessions...or getting more info if interested! Ask Peter, the lasagna was good
enough for a second piece, even without a Maudite or a Port!
