Remember, flip template OVER before drawing Pattern!

Lets see...

Order Plasteak. Check
Wait one week for order. Check.
Recieve Plasteak teak and Holly (enough for master head) . Check
Adhesive. Check
Remove trim, clean floor, make template. Check
Call wife and brag about new flooring soon to be in head. Check
Wife says not to rush it. Check
Copy template to back of teak and holly. Check
Cut out very carefully. Check
Admire your work. Check
Bring down to head to check fit.

You idiot....

You moron....

How stupid can you be......


Oh wait, I too have done the same thing.....

"Never mind"............

 

[MikeP]

You have described my typical method of doing almost everything related to wood-working or flooring. The nice thing about it is you get TWICE as much experience as other folks for the same project!

 

[SeaEric]

Ready! Fire, Aim! Been there, done that!

I think Yachtsmanbill would just move the head to the other side of the boat. It would fit perfect that way.

 

[Angela]

Ned, see what happens when you have no Dewars for four days? LOL

Sky, you crack me up about what Yachtsmanwillie would have done...so true! LOL

 

[Captned]

Thanks guys,

Always good to be reminded that however stupid I am, someone has already paved the way!

Dont worry Ang, I'm almost back on my feet!

I think Yachtsmanbill would just move the head to the other side of the boat. It would fit perfect that way.

...its quicker than ordering and waiting and paying for shipping twice (!) ws

 

[Captned]

Yea, but then I would have to make a new Plumbing room to mount the strainers at head hieght, remove 16,320 brass screws, install a porthole, move a porthole, cuss Bubba, take a lot of pictures, be witty, chase a thief around, shim the toilet, replace 6,873 feet of wiring, remove 402 drawers, sandblast the bilge, gloss coat white the new dressing closet, acid wash the afromosia..etc...

F**k it. I'll just order more Plasteak..


Bill, you probably would move it..! HA!

[yachtsmanbill]

Shim the toilet? Thats a new one! What do I need to try that one? The rest of its a "love of the sport" clause in my contract. Ah, the joys of boating...
Notice the 20# test going from the bell all the way out to the handle on the door of my truck? Theres no honor among thieves! Also have junior on guard in the pilothouse. If all else fails, maybe I can shame them into returning my stuff... yea, right! ws

Been there too did it with a piece of 5' x 8' special ordered formica

Well I did get to use that piece somewhere else I always now mark my patterns UP!!!!

 

[Captned]

Nothing but fun, eh DAN?

I did get something out of the whole thing, maybe. I laid the "piece" at the salon doorway and the wife looked at it and said, "Ya Know, maybe it would look really good if we did the whole salon in that stuff." (insert happy / shocked thingy here.) "Yea, me too....
