Hey DentonDoc, how is the tarp project coming along? Pat

Only a couple more things to do.  All the seams are sewn, most of the nylon loops have been added (corners, ridge line).  What I need to do is add two more nylon loops along the edge opposite the ridge line and then decide how many gross grain (intermediate) loops to add.  These have already been folded in half and sewn length-wise, but I haven't decided on actual spacing yet. 

Then the final step will be to "re-sil" the areas where I've stitched.  That may have to wait until warmer weather.

Still this was an interesting little project to spend a bit of time with.  The only "hang up" was working with 10 foot sections of tarp (even with a large flanking work table).  Now that my skills have improved (slightly), I may give it another go.  My new big red sil tarp should work fine.  I'm wondering how it would look in yellow, especially on overcast days when you benefit from more light getting through the tarp.
