A lot has happened since my last post. I got the sole in the cabin clean and all the glue off. Sure looks a lot better. Took a lot of scraping and lacquer thinner to wipe the balance off. Didn't get a headache. Got the sole sanded with 80 grit and will sand again with 120 before I paint it. Not going to use Interdeck as its to hard to clean. Think I'll just use Ace Porch and Floor. This really holds up well. We'll put down throw rugs. I did purchase a green rug that looks like grass with the hopes Trixie will use it for her potty.
Ordered the exhaust elbow on Tuesday with a delivery of 7 to 10 days. Gatewood call today and the elbow is in. Rachel will pick it up for me tomorrow. I'll get it from Charlie Saturday. Plan to turn the boat around so I can sand and paint the stern for her new name. I ordered her new name Tuesday with a April 16th delivery and they called today that it is ready. I'll pick it up Monday as they are closed on Fridays. Should get her new name on Tuesday.
Yesterday we went to Hobby Lobby and found the material for the cushions. One major problem they didn't have enough. So I call Victoria Hobby Lobby and they have the balance that we need. Will pick it up tomorrow on the way home from the VA. I'll call the lady that will do the cushions Saturday as the foam will be in tomorrow.
Hope fully by next weekend cushions new name and elbow will all be done. Now we can start getting the cockpit sanded and Interdeck with non skid.
Will post photos as I get things done. I have a special person that is planning on keeping track of our progress and adventure.
