Accomplished Wednesday:
 - Karen began grinding seams and holes
 - Scraped goop off transverse floor panel seams
 - Started removing stuff (e.g. trim panels, parking brake control) from
   front kick space
 - Started removing stuff from the firewall area
 - Successfully executed Operation Interphase
 - Began cutting angle iron (from old EC bed frames) to form
   pontoon bottom runner structures

Observations:
 - Pontoons redesigned to 17" height and 22" top width, tapering
   in triangles fore and aft of the 6' (approx.) passenger tub.
   Still looking for steel to sheath them all... note location of
   cruftable pieces of light gauge sheet steel 6' or longer.
 - Simulations of this design predict a fully-laden waterline
   just a couple of inches above the door bottoms.
 - A neighbor requested that we take precautions to avoid setting fire to
   her tree.  Please consult with me prior to setting any tree fires.
 - Karen plans to arrive super early tomorrow to finish major grinding
   work before cars show up and before self-imposed noise curfew (9 PM).
 - To minimize on-site noise, we plan to take the doors back to Cruftlabs
   for chopping, grinding, paint prep, and drilling to accomodate rudder
   control cable conduit (which will run through the inside of the doors,
   just below the top).
 - Scott will acquire supplies:
    * new plug for welder
    * welding helmets  (does EC still have any?)

Long-term Outlook:
   Pontoons and doors should be complete by the end of this weekend.
   That allows a leisurely pace next week for fore and aft compartment
   waterproofing, engine and trunk floatation and structural concerns,
   expanding foam work, painting, propulsion, electrical accessories,
   upholstery repair, in-water testing, and more!

Projects for Thursday:
 - Finish scraping sealant from floor seams
 - Finish removing stuff (esp. bolts that penetrate firewall) from front
   kickspace
 - Grind all known weld seams
 - Wire-brush areas of large rusty scale to verify material integrity
   or prepare for patchwork
 - Get MIG welder set up and running
 - Rough-in of pontoon bottom runner structures (if Steve is ready)
 - Bring doors (and scrap metal) back to Cruftlabs


THURSDAY - 7:00 PM - ACTUALLY 5:00 IF YOUR LAST NAME IS ROBINSON
We promise to have non-door-related tasks.
