If you seen from the previous update, there was a noticeable hole in the bow planks that had to be repaired. It has since been recovered with new wood and new putty and now it's waiting to be sanded and repainted. Where the rub rails were rotting out, it has now been recovered with new wood; and the top is being redone with new wood as well.
As you can see, the bottom is being freshly repainted and the sides will follow along soon. And sometimes when we make a mess, all we can do is just draw a smiley face and make the best of it!
