I did a bunch of sewing with a Sailrite LSZ sewing machine that I borrowed from a friend. I made a new pedestal cover, 3 new winch covers and replaced the sacrificial cover on our headsail. Pictures soon. I see why they charge so much for replacing the sacrificial on headsails. What a pain, but a very rewarding job. I can't wait to get the new stuff on the boat to see the difference. Later this summer, we plan on making a new bimini and jiffy reefing cover.
The head is completely pulled apart. Whoever set the old toilet, secured it to the sole with galvanized lag bolts and they within months of breaking free. The old wallpaper that was in the head is gone and we were at first going to use a acrylic type laminate on the walls that I had laying around, but I don't think it will hold up to regular use. I think we are going to end up using a counter top style laminate from Lowe's or other hardware store.
The bottom job and deck are going to have to wait until spring. They are draining our lake to winter levels and hauling out is impossible due to low water levels. I will get some good pictures this week to show the improvements.
