Getting the floor repaired

Looks like there was a problem with the photos, so I'm trying this again.

Okay, these are the before pictures. You can see one of the hatches to the bilge and the light-colored thing is an old cabinet door covering the soft spot in the floor at the bottom of the stairs. There's a curtain covering the storage area under the pilot house/living area. The stairs go off to the right, then there's a left turn to the pilot house. And the stairs are different heights and covered with really nasty carpet.

Leila and Dan started work yesterday morning and I came home in the afternoon to this! The wall is gone, the stairs are temporary because they're building the new stairs today at their workshop. The patch in the floor will eventually be covered, but not this week. The dark green is horrible, slippery-when-wet linoleum. The white wall is the storage area that I painted last night so that I can find things that I store there. It used to be a black, musty, moldy hole. ZhouZhou was so excited with all the room, that she just ran and jumped all over. Then, when I painted, I found footprints in the first coat, then the second coat, had to scrub the dark green linoleum. Now, I have to paint one more coat. We'll see if there will be more footprints. Oh well, it's a storage area. We have to plan to allow access to my little water heater--you know how they are. So Leila is making cabinet doors and the new stairs will be hinged to move out of the way (that was my idea). Teeny followed ZhouZhou in exploring every new little spot they had access to. PJ was just put out because his little bed was upstairs and there was no way he was going up them. He doesn't adjust to change well at all.

Leila and Dan are driving up from Tacoma to do this work. They only take jobs that are interesting to them and they want to do more of the remodel on my boat, but only if the weather is nice so Dan can wear shorts. So, they moved almost everything out onto the deck so they could work, did the demo and the temporary floor and stair fix, sprayed the preservative on all of the wood they could on the walls and in the bilge yesterday. They allowed four days for this project because they didn't know what they would find, but it's going so fast that they're finding other things to do while they're here. Dan is strengthening my desk while he's at it as well as increasing the depth of the sofa so we can all really lounge instead of just sit. They're dreaming of more projects they can do. Like hand-build the Dutch door and figuring out how to make a hydraulic lift for the steering column so it can sink down into the bilge when not being used. I hope it's a short winter!
