Strip: Plotting a different course

So everythings going great - I've glassed the outside of this stripper, ready to CF the coaming - and winter (and low temps) arrive.

As it turns out, I'm not really 'okay' with waiting for spring. Someone suggested moving into the living room. Surprisingly, that wasn't met with much enthusiasm by my first wife. But I think I can shoehorn into my basement, but it'll be tight - and will make maneuvering around the washer/dryer 'difficult' - so I don't think, long term, it will be allowed.

So why can't I move the schedule around a bit? I'm supposed to build up the coaming first, ala One Oceans protocol, then FG the inside. To do that, I'd have to move the boat home, do the coaming, return to the cold shop to do the sanding of the interior, then return, again, to the basement (heated to a lovely 70 degrees). I figure - remove the shells from the mold, sand the interior, return to the mold and tape/strap for the trip to the basement, and do the whole enchilada.

Any holes in my plan?
