We're getting some work done on the boat YES!  lots of scraping, a little painting, installing plywood floors, and whatever else we can think of.  Two local guys- Edilberto and Fidel- show up every morning to help, and so far, they've been wonderful.  For us, it just feels right to be living on a construction site.  Everything we own is right in the middle of the floor, weighted down with 300 pounds of cat litter to help the glue set.  It's the old normal.
