Nonsense: Improvements Continue

The Axeman and I have been burning all of our free time at the boat, helping to slowly morph it into a living breathing houseboat organism. One that has a floor to walk on and an engine to propel. Well, we are still working on the engine part, but we did finish the floor this week. Carpeting still to come.

Arsenal: The Houseboat

Yeah, you read the title correctly. Last Wednesday we added a 1970 34' Nautaline to the arsenal of casa de Bolte. Peppered with slight cosmetic damage and a tired old engine the houseboat will be something of a fixer upper, but will no doubt provide good times out in the bay for the next two summers. Check out these pics!
