More progress on the boat and Brett is finishing up the delivery

After getting home, Brett worked dilagently to put the last coat of stain/varnish on the trim. He also finished painting the liner which turned out beautifully! He installed our speakers we'd gotten last year on our way down here into the settee bulkheads and finally got the cd stereo installed at the nav station. He also installed the breaker panel for the stereo and nav equipment as well as a cigarette lighter for other 12v products we may want to use. He installed hinges on several of the cabinet doors in the galley and nav station. I'd go take pictures but he has the camera.

He is finishing up the delivery with Eddie and Eddie's friend, Andy. They left at 530am Tuesday and won't be home till tonight or tomorrow. I didn't know they would be gone so long. I haven't heard from Brett but I did talk to Eddie Tuesday night. It's a nasty windy rainy day today and today is their roughest section in Galveston Bay. Today is my first day off in 4 days. I worked very hard this week at ACE. I like it so far. I actually open the store by myself on Sunday and it will only be me and the owner all day on Sunday. I am nervous but also confident. They are really easy and have set things up to be easy. Any problem I may have can be fixed later. Dale is really good with the customers, too, so I think I'll be alright.

I'm tired but wanting to spruce up the boat before Brett comes home. I also needed to run errands today but it is pouring down rain. And when it rains here, it's never just a drizzle for long. It dumps buckets. But I have a lot to do around here today.

wow a time warp, soooo by the time you move in in an alternate universe you will still be finishing!!! LOL

I am completely blown away. I KNEW it would be wonderful, you both are so good and work very hard. but I am speechless, it is so beautiful. As good as the pics are I am sure it's even better in person. (Everything is even the hug I am sending you both)

Love MOM
