The work continues

We've been busy since returning from KW.
We've replaced all four "deadlights" (non-opening windows) in the galley, aft cabin and nav station. This will significantly reduce rain water leaks. We've also started stripping out the damaged woodwork around the windows and replacing it with new beadboard. We are going to paint the beadboard an ivory color to match the interior fiberglass on some of the walls. It should help brighten up the interior and make it less "cave like."
We started tacking down some temporary plywood on the floors. This will make the interior more livable so we can move in sometime next month. It's a hassle getting up to Driftwood to work on the boat, and once she's functional we can do the rest of the refit a room at a time while living aboard. Not ideal, but not having to travel 10 miles one way to work will save a lot of time.
There are still a few more details to work on (inverter, some of the lights, more batteries, etc.) but I think Queequeg will be more or less livable by mid December.
I promise to post some pictures as soon as I remember to bring the camera!
