Almost done removing plywood (interior)

Progress is slow. 

Due to my back/leg problems progress have been very slow. In fact credit for most of the progress since my last post goes my parents. They dropped by this weekend to lend a hand.

Most of the plywood have been removed from the interior. Only two bulkheads remain. I'm considering refurbishing the old bulkheads (instead of spending 1700 USD on marine plywood). If the last two bulkheads are in as good of a condition as the ones I have already removed I'm going to experiment with painting them using Interlux Toplac (also known as International Toplac).

Removing plywood video

A quick test to play around with uploading a video to youtube from my iPhone 5.

Considering ordering a GoPro Hero 3 to document the progress and to take sailing once the restoration project is finished.

A slow start, removing plywood

Removing plywood, cabin portside

Today I started removing plywood from the portside of the cabin in my lovely 1973 Albin Ballad. Sadly I had to stop due to my back acting up. I got a herniated disc as a result of falling down a flight of stairs last october. I did get an operation in december but still have a lot of problems with pain and loss of feeling in my left leg. But that's another story. Feels good getting started although progress is slow. Isn't there a saying that goes something like "slow and steady wins the race"? If so it's only a matter of time ;)

Stay tuned for more exciting adventures.
