Work list

[CassidyNZ]

Just for the interest of those who are contemplating doing upgrades on their boats or buying a project boat, the following (long, sorry) list is my project list that I started on a September last year. The number per item is obviously sequential, the x in brackets are the items already done.

Some jobs are insignificant 5-minute events but some (like 19, build new roof) are big projects taking months not minutes.

It is my desire to get as much done as possible before I sail to Fiji in May, there are quite a few jobs that are cosmetic and probably won’t make the cut.

I’d be interested to know how this compares to your “list”.

CassidyNZ. That is an impressive list and quite an accomplishment that you have already completed so many items. I’m not crossing oceans but my list for this winter was only about 40 items. I’m still working on replacing the gaskets on all 13 portlights along with replacing about half of the portlight dog assemblies.

I was talking with a friend about boat work and he told me had completed his to do list...now he just needed someone to do it!

You forgot #97 - start over back at #1

Or...

you’re three shy but in the immortal words of Jay Z, I got 99 problems...

Sorry couldn’t resist
