Working Inside the Cabin

I've spent the last several days working on the inside of the cabin. I also got the external roof back on her, and screwed down. I have about half of my headliner up, with some foam insulation under that to hopefully keep out the heat of the sun. I bought some blue cloth with a print of pirate ships and treasure chests on it to make curtains out of, and a bunch of rivets and a hammer jig to assemble them with. This should be a fun way to get the curtains done without having to sew, and might add a little more shiny metallic highlight to the interior. I wanted brass rivets to match everything else, but the craft store only had chrome, oh well, it'll do.

I'm not happy with my kitchen counter, and I have a sheet of white plastic laminate to try to put over it. If I can manage to cut it, and get it glued in without breaking it I think I will go with that over the plywood because it didn't take a finish like I wanted it to. Still need to do some interior painting in the V-berth, and a little more cleanup if I can remember to take this little vacuum I have out there. Also need to take the camera and get some new pictures so I can share this part on this blog if anybody is reading it anyway. Lots to do, no clue about my future, might have to sell the boat so I can move unless I get a job like I want somewhere around here, or the engine running so I can get the boat to where I am going and come back by train or bus for the car.

So much to do and so few funds left. Oh well, there's always day labor and temp work.
