As usual... Ben and I spent the week working on the boat. Today Ben is going to putty and bondo the last few repair spots on the main deck then sand them smooth and I think, I hope... that we will be finished with ALL the sanding. YEAH! I am SOOOOO tired of EVERYTHING being covered with sawdust! By the time we finished last night we both looked like we were covered with flour from head to toe. LOL. After he finishes sanding those spots then I get to start the job to cleaning up the mess.
I can't take a hose to the wood as it will bring up the grain and I will just have to sand all over again.... So I am going to start at the top and work my way down with a damp rag and clean as I go. That's gonna be a job, it's a BIG boat to wipe down by hand. Ben will take a hose to the boat house to try to knock down some of the dust on the walls before we start putting the teak oil on the wooden rails and windows. We did get the non-skid on the upper decks and it looks really good. I love the color.
Once the dust is all cleaned up we will tear the head-liner out of the bedroom, clean the dust outta there... then put in the NEW head-liner and new carpet! YAH, I am so tired of working on the DANG boat!
