They can't build them like they used to
By some odd coincidence my wife and I stopped by the yard to see the
Martha Lewis this afternoon. Her captain was there and we had a nice
chat. They're replacing a number of planks on the starboard side.
Above the water it'll be with Ponderossa Pine; below with Douglas fir,
and there's quite a nice stack of 8/4 lumber there ready to go.
Fasteners will be #18 galvanized screws and boat nails.
