Sprayed.....

Well it took two weekends to finish all of the wood install and spray the interior with clearcoat.  We finished it yesterday but still have all the new cabinet doors to spray, we are going to sand the existing interior doors and restain/spray them.  The doors will be done in the shop,  I am hoping to do this during the week in the evenings.   I also removed the steering hydraulic pump and shipped it to Florida for a rebuild last week.  I found an online houseboating forum that has provided me with tons of information.  It was were I got the link for rebuilding the steering and found the place that builds rv / houseboat windows!!!

Here is the link for the houseboat forums if anyone is interested to check it out.  http://www.houseboatmagazine.com/fusetalk/forum/index.cfm?forumid=1

We are going to order windows for the 4 largest in the living room.  They really needed to be replaced and the new ones will be tinted dark so should help with the sun and heat.  The same place we are getting the windows can provide new screen frames for the rest of the windows, this will be a must!! 

We ordered and picked up the rock for the backsplash on the kitchen sink this week.  It is a 12 x 12 square with mesh back that has different colored river rocks.  I will take a pic and post in the next few days.  I think it is going to look very cool!!  I cut out a bunch of dry rot that was below the water heater.  I need to reframe it and repair prior to doing the backsplash.

We also ordered a new kitchen window, it should be in this week, it is in the same area as the dry rot so will need to complete that repair and reframe the window before I can install.

Still haven't decided what to do in the bathroom.  Any suggestions speak up!!  The fellow that we bought the boat from had primed all of the walls in the bathroom, they are paneling.  So.....  not sure weather to just try and paint over the top or what...   I think that is the plan right now.  We shall see.

We are having second thoughts about putting the boat in the Delta.  The cost is pretty high and we aren't sure that is what we want.  So I checked with Lake Comanche and New Melonies.  The price is much more reasonable and Comanche is so close we may decide to try it for a year or two there.  I contacted the mover to get some pricing from our place to the lake.  And then a price from the lake to the Delta if we change our mind later.  We will have to take all of this into consideration and decide.

Well that is all for now!!!  Thanks for following along with us!!!
