It was a beautiful holiday morning
...so, work should be slow
...& I'ma ready ta do some fiberglassin'
Then, my brother showed up
...& said, "I'm here to help you "put the roof on" your shelter area
Um...so...well...we went ahead & "put the roof on"
Thanks bro
* Installed some translucent front panels too
...ta keep rain & snow out
...but, ta still let some light in
Inside view
Installed some translucent
...& on the roof too (for same reason)
** Also, got my new ('ol glory) flag up too
*** Now my flag will be better protected from the "elements" (wind & rain)
...& still showin' my pride in & representin' for our great country/nation

Did have a bit of time, in the evening, ta cut the FG (1708) for the 3rd layer
Cuttin' this layer in an opposing orientation/direction
Clos(er) up view
Then, layed 'er on the mold, ta do some notchin-n-fittin'
Should be able ta get 'er ta "wrap-n-lay" pretty goodly, in the back
...& up in the front too

Upon re-contemplation, I went back & pre-fitted-n-notched the FG I cut, for the 2nd layer of FG
...just like I did for the FG I cut for the 3rd layer
Re-cap this layer #1
Layer #2
* Took ~1 1/2 hours ta do
...& I used (4) 16 oz cups (or ~64 oz. of resin)

Layer #3 "ready for duty"
* Notice I added a custom/unique "watermark"
This is a really big piece
...so, I pre-fit & aligned it
Made sure it was pretty well aligned, from side-ta-side too
Ta help keep 'er aligned
...I flipped (1) end up
...& then, started "laminatin' 'er down
BAM!
3rd layer...done
