2019 RV/Boat

I haven't been here in a while.  A summer of boating also usually means a summer of neglect when it comes to the house.  That's kind of been the case for a couple years so we pulled the boat a bit early and got after the maintenance.  We finished the painting and did several other chores around the lot and now are ready for winter...although there is still a half dozen trees full of leaves that will create a chore as fall progresses.

There is a little boating news.  I've been informed the bottom paint has been removed from the hull and the boat moved into storage.  Next steps are 4 coats of epoxy barrier coat followed by 2 coats of bottom paint.

I have plans to travel west in a couple weeks to polish the hull.

I have managed to get to a little wood shop work in between the fall chores.  I started a four drawer cabinet project last spring that was interrupted by boating season.  It will also function as a cutting surface for Kathy's "Southern" sewing center.  The top will have folding leaves on each side.  The case is complete and the top material roughed out.

I've constructed the drawer boxes and have them ready for final finishing.

I'm still working out boat slip arrangements for next season.  We may be able to make a decision in a few weeks.  We're looking at a few different options.  Harborview sent me a survey this week about my opinion on the marina staff and operation.  It won't be pleasant reading for them, but I doubt they care.
