The fiberglass hanging over the edges of the cedar strips. Doesn't have to be pretty at this point. Viewed: 647 times.

Looking out along the canoe, right into the garage extension that Martin built. 25' doesn't fit in 20'. Viewed: 627 times.

The seam joining the two halves. It ain't easy building a 25 foot boat in a 20 foot shed. Viewed: 637 times.
|
An 8 foot extension was added to the shed to fit the canoe. Much better lighting under the translucent roof. Viewed: 620 times.
