I finished up the bath rebuild and all is back to normal there. The new cabinetry turned out real nice considering it was built 1200 miles from here.
Then it was on to the rest of the trailer to replace the flooring. After replacing some more sub-flooring and spending a couple days scraping up 30 year old vinyl, I put down a new luan surface and installed the same vinyl that I used in the bathroom for the kitchen area.
The project stalled at that point while we waited for a carpet order to arrive so what should we do?
Well, how about a little boating?
We led a cruise group from our park aboard Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas. It was a real nice week and with the weather so-so in Florida, a nice escape to summer weather.
The first stop was RCCL's private beach at Coco Cay, Bahamas.
It was still a little cool there but we weren't going to let a little chill keep us out of the water. So we donned our snorkel gear and swam for a couple hours over some structure they have placed off the beach.
We also made landfall at St. Thomas.
There were a few nice yachts there. Not too many of this class running around the Great Lakes.
Then it was on to St. Maarten,
We did a little browsing at both ports but spent most of our time aboard the ship on this trip. The weather was perfect and the week went by in a flash.
Meanwhile back at the ranch, the carpeting came in and we prepared for installation. We moved everything into the Florida room or the porch.
I looked forward to having something other than plywood under my feet. In a couple hours, the carpeting was installed.
We moved the furniture back in and can finally call this project over.
With the construction zone over, Kathy even got out the good bedding and a quilt she made for here.
She's been waiting awhile to get that on the bed.
So it's finished and just in the nick of time. Brian and Shanna arrive a week from today for the family cruise aboard Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas.
Time for the fun to begin.
