| How do you change your lightbulbs? |
Its been an expensive week. Another thousand for the marina (Dam I need to be out of here and on the hook!) $800 for a little yamaha generator, $300 for house batteries and $250 in labor for the new dodger & bimini. I am totally stoked (Morgon says I'm too old to say stoked but I'm doing it anyway) about the new canvas. It turned out better than I thought it would and the price was awesome! I used about 8 yards of the $5 a yard material I got at walmart in seattle (pro tuff, gets comparable ratings with sunbrella) another $20 for zippers and $25 for clear vinyl for the windows puts me at less than $350 for a new dodger and bimini! I had kept the old torn up one for a pattern and sent it off with Miguel so that he had a foolproof pattern and it turned out great!
I paid moorage up until this Saturday. It gave us a goal and a little push to get everything checked off the list so that we could get out of here but it looks like we are going to get a little weather so we'll have to sit tight for another day or two. Everybody is a little disapointed but none of us want our first day out to be hairy so we'll suck it up and get a little more done while we're on shore power. |
| I need to put the snaps on so it tightens up but it turned out great! Miguel Angel (Tapizados D Angel) gives great prices on upholstery and canvas work, you can reach him at 322-293-76-58 in PV He speaks only spanish but his wife speaks great english. |
just set up a google account, so hope this gets to you.
