: Can a Skin-on-frame boat be build outdoors?

I am currently building a Greenland SOF in my back yard. It has not been a problem, except that I can't work on it in bad weather. I throw a tarp over everything when the weather is looking wet.

The benefit is that I get to be outdoors instead of hidden away in some room. I get plenty of that at work.

I've found that it's fun to work by headlamp at night, but some tasks require daylight.

One caveat: I live in central Texas, so cold is not much of an issue. Forecast for today is 67 degrees and partly cloudy.

Cheers,
Travis
