Long week and it is only Wednesday . . .

This weekend hubby and I started the demolition of our boat . . . yes, demolition. We had to cut the floor out and pull out all of the foam because the floor was starting to get waves in it. #1 problem, old boat = problems. Unfortunately to get the boat that we want brand new costs more than a new car, so that is out of the question right now. So we spend around 4 hours Saturday cutting the floor and starting on the foam.
Around 4 one of hubbies surfing buddies calls and says he is heading up to the inlet to catch some waves . Well after all our hard work so far that day we figured why not, break time! So we hit the inlet for some surfing (hubby not me). While hubby hit the waves I sat with one of the guys wives on the beach and was eaten alive by noseeums (I have no idea how to spell that). When I say eaten alive, I mean it too. My feet and legs are covered in these little red marks and they itch like you would never believe. Today is a good day though, I was finally able to shave!
So Sunday we get back into our boat project. The day was so hot and sunny we could only work for about 15 minutes and then had to break for 15. But when we were finally done, we got all but a few little bits of foam out of the boat. I will post pictures so you can see what I am talking about. I have never been so tired in all my life! The combo of heat and hard work was just exhausting.
Well after all of this hard work we find out that in order to fix the floor it is going to be a 3-4 month project! NO, I have to be on the boat before that! I miss the water, what are we going to do? Well unfortunately there are only 2 options hubby says, fix it or buy a new hull! What! Buy a new hull, you have go to be kidding me. My heart rate is erratic at this point and all I can think is, I did all that work for nothing! Hubby does his best to calm me down and is hoping I don't cry, which I didn't. So after hours of conversation back and forth we decide to check out new hulls. We look at EBAY and Craigs list and find some contenders. I hate the idea of buying off EBAY sight unseen though, Craigs list is always a better bet I feel because we can look before spending. Unfortunately there are not any hulls on Craigs list that will work so we find one on EBAY. Hubby decides to call the auctioner and see what he can find out. Well it turns out that the hull is in great shape for the year it is and has a trailer that has never seen salt water (this is a GREAT thing!). Unfortunately the hull is in storage and we will be unable to see it before the auction ends. So now what do we do? Well for those of you that know hubby, he is a Mr. Fix It, there is nothing he can not do, it is truly amazing! So we decide we are going to take the chance, I know, I know, scary huh? Auction ends at 5 pm and we are crossing our fingers. So needless to say, my nerves are shot. I am exhausted both physically and mentally and yet again we are taking a chance on EBAY. So far, everything has always worked out though. At least we know what it is going for right now and can always turn around and resell it, that is one of the benefits of living on the coast, someone is always looking to get on the water!
Wish us luck . . .
