I am in the process of building my second boat in the living room of my apartment. The first was an Arctic Tern kit, the second an Outer Island stripper. Of course, I have no 'significant other' to tell me I can't do this. Do you have room in the basement to build and have a way to get it out once completed? Building the Tern is a very clean operation, and even the epoxy doen't smell much. The only messy operation is the final sanding after the boat is essentially done, and this could wait 'til spring.
As a relatively new kayak building addict, I can't in good concience condone the waiting period you're proposing;-) The winter is the perfect time to build -- you'll be itchin' to get out and paddle once the temps warm up, and in how many pieces will your boat still be in?...
