Though I honestly love a good project, I'm not committed to it just yet and want to understand what I'm getting into:

Recently came across a Hudson Force 50 for cheap, really cheap, and I know why.

Some of the deck fiberglass is bowing while most show exposed fibers.

Much of the interior wood around the cockpit needs to be replaced, while the wood around the windows has effectively dissolved.

The anterior room has been gutted leaving the control arm for the rutter and shaft for the motor exposed.

The living space actually isn't that bad, though the plumbing has turned blue and green and is corroding.

The current owner says:

"Upgraded all of the electrical and installed a new electrical panel.

All of the decks have been sealed and there is no leaks with only the exception of the cockpit. The material to finish the cockpit is on board.

Both masts are made of wood The mizzen has been restored and is ready to be stepped The main mast still needs additional work.

The motor has not been started in 10 years."

What's your take?

I want to use a ring binder for journaling, and then want to add the pages to a bound book.

I'd like the rings of the pages to sit beyond a perforation to make it easier to remove the holes on the page.

After removing the strip of paper with the holes in it, how much space should there be between the perforation and text? Is the spacing dependent on the binding method?

Old Baltimore building.

Have a storage loft above the bathroom and kitchen, and the ceiling in the loft was originally constructed with lath and plaster, but now the plaster and wood is so old, the plaster has literally disintegrated (not joke when I say it's practically dust and small debris) and the lath is warped, discolored, cracking so bad as to split, and nails are sliding out of the wood.

I imagine this is beyond the point of repair and just needs to be replaced; will drywall be a suitable substitute? Any suggestions or insight?
