For me the honeymoon is over. I haven't posted in a while as I'm trying to come to terms with the enormousness (if that's a word) of this project. Like any other "remodel project" the more you do, the more you find you need to do!
So far our punch list looks like this....
remove and replace the rub rail. This entails cutting off the rail that is currently on the boat and welding new rub rail to the hull. The new rail consist of 4" half round steel pipe and of course it had to be special ordered and barged up to Juneau.
Sandblast and paint every bit of steel on the boat from top to bottom.
Remove the shower surround and shower pan, as it has been leaking into the bottom of the boat for who knows how long. The drain and piping to the through hull fitting will be replaced as well.
It appears as though the starboard fuel tank may have a leak; we've drained it and hope to be able to figure that out quickly.
In the galley the ceiling and insulation has already been removed and the cabinets have been removed from the walls. The joists will need to be sistered and some of the wood will be replaced as there is rot from the roof leaking. The roof has also lost is crown and will be jacked up to put the crown back in. The roof will be re done as well.
Dave, thankfully, is ever the optimist and keeps reminding me that all of this is doable, and we're not giving up on making it out to Taku Harbor for my Tiki/Luau/Pirate Birthday Party next month.
