Rain, Rain, Go Away!

We have been rained out of a lot of work...losing 2-3 days out of every 5 days. Being unable to work much on the outside, we have been working on the cabins - removing more damaged plywood, stripping and sanding woodwork, etc. We had to completely remove the concrete/tiled floor of the "head" as it had major cracks in it, and needed the floor boards replaced due to water damage. We replaced the floor boards, laid new plywood, replaced seacocks, thru-hull drains, plumbing,and then relaid a concrete base with drains for shower and stool. Now taking a week off due to the heat wave and taking a trip to Kentucky. Will update again next week.
