Doesn't that make them "brown water" paddlers?

It is much worse than this!
Tobaco, alcohol and drugs have nothing on boatbuilding.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have yet to see a garage big enough.
I am moving to a different state to buy some land on which to build 
a boatshop/workshop and BTW a house.

BTW, The boatshop/workshop will be at least 2500 square feet, not counting
support equipment.  :-))
Now all I have to do is come up with a way to pay for all of this.  :-))

My wife and I moved about 15 years ago, from four onto 20 acres.  Being
somewhat <grin> a collector, I needed a place to store all my "things"
(which includes boats, molds, other sordid articles.  After some
calculation, I decided that a structure 24 x 24 feet would do it.  So I
built a 48 x 48 foot pole barn and ran the eave height up 18 feet so I
could put a second story (loft) in it -- double my floor space with minimal
extra cost.  After 12 years that barn is full, I have another smaller one
full and am contemplating building another.  If anyone wants pole barn
building lessons......

I should admit that my paddle factory takes up a good portion of the bigger
one.  

Have fun figuring and collecting.....
