No more work on the boat yet. I am very keen to get something done though. We have a long weekend coming up and maybe I can get something done this weekend. I hope the weather is a bit cooler. It has been cooler this week but you know Murphy and his laws! Jo has […]
Well don’t I feel like a fool. I had my rant about the In-Laws ignoring my weight loss in previous posts. We have just returned from a 10 day visit with them and I discovered why they didn’t see my posts. Let’s just say that their computer is SO old that if I started it […]

It has been sometime since my last (first) post but I felt compelled to add to our website. I am sitting upstairs at our warehouse while Paul is putting the final coat of High Build onto Hull #2. He told me to go away because the fumes would overwhelm me. (He’s right! I can taste […]
They say that behind every good Schionning Builder is a good wife. Well…assuming that Paul is a good Schionning Builder, yesterday I officially became the “good wife”.
