woodflooring

new kitchen floor

While we've been sitting here, (not sailing) for the winter, I wanted to put wood flooring in Mehari. So that's the latest project, and it's been a doozy! Levi and I have travelled by bus back to Ashkelon for the last three weeks and have spent many hours on the project.
You know how you picture one thing in your mind how something might go together? Not So! It takes......we learned......about an hour per board! by the time you measure, measure again, make the first cuts. Then you see where you need to cut more, and then you try to fit it again, and again, and again. It takes an average of 4-5 trips to cut the board, and if you're lucky, you don't have to start over with a new one!  So, it's a long process to say the least, but the results will be much worth it. The boat will be cleaner and easier to keep clean. Using a vacuum at sea it not really an option and with Lily, Zoe and soon Miles eating over the carpet, the choice to do it was pretty simple!

Here's a photo of the progress and more when it's DONE!!
