More progress

We're almost ready to launch.
The bottom has been sanded, the new cutlass bearing installed, new zinc put on the shaft, etc. We're just waiting for a fresh coat of bottom paint and..."SPLASH!"
The interior repairs are going well. The new floor is installed in the aft stateroom, the galley and the "office" (nav station.)
Bev has painted the interior of all 16 drawers. The unfinished wood was just too stained to leave as is, and we just couldn't see ourselves putting our clothing and other items in them. She also painted the lower portions of the galley. This will brighten the space and save us a lot of refinishing. While she had the paint going, she painted the fold-away seat in the office.
We installed a temporary floor in the salon (dining room.) The sub floor there is very damaged and will have to be completely rebuilt. That will take a lot of time, so it will have to wait. There are more pressing projects, most especially tracking down and stopping several leaks on deck and around the port lights. There's still some rewiring that needs to be done, etc. So we will have to put up with a plain plywood floor in the salon for a while. The forward stateroom/V-Berth has become a lumber yard, storing all of our construction materials. Bev and I will sleep in the aft stateroom until repairs are farther along.
So now, without further ado, here are some much awaited photos of the progress so far.
