This one is a pilot boat that was built locally in 1969. I suppose it's close to 65 feet. They just completed a major repaint of the engine, engine room, steps and interior railings. The area I worked in was narrow and I had to net fit carpet on all the edges. I lightly thermo sealed the edges so that I wouldn't knock loose rows as I handled it. I made a pattern out of light weight poster board and taped it to the carpet. Individual sections of poster board are a lot easier to fit than any other patterning method.
It's one thing to get the carpet in place. The hard part is folding the carpet back to glue it without scratching up the paint on the walls and railings.
Turned out pretty nice.

They did ask me if I wanted to take a lunch break with them across the street at the Chevron gas station.

This move has been pure hell. I can't believe the incompetent realtors, lenders, and escrow companies. You really have to pay attention. Just today, one realtor wired my half of the new house ($250,000.00) to the wrong company, the escrow forget a $1,500 credit, one realtor said wall mount tv brackets must stay, and another realtor said it was OK to take. The lender wrote the wrong close of escrow, and I'm now faxing papers that the other escrow company "forgot" to have us sign.

Finally something that can't be blamed on the flooring installer.

Hope tomorrow goes better for ya.

I fixed a delaminated plank for a customer who refuses to humidify his expensive mansion. Then I went and finished demoing a shower and pan. Time for tile. #ihateshowers #claustrophobic

Only if the wife complains.

Day before yesterday I had steak and pie. Last week was home made lasagna.
Yesterday I refused dinner, but had cookies and coffee ready when I arrived for work.
Tonight, I refused another dinner offer, but accepted an offer for coffee and a sandwich for lunch. I left work with a baggie full of home fixed trail mix.
Tomorrow, I get dinner. ...........coffee will be on, and who knows what might be offered with it.
I still have two days of work to do.
.............how's a guy supposed to get any work done being 'treated' this way?

Last night I had BBQ'd steak, small taters and grilled onions with the people I've been working for. Some kind of dense, and rich chocolate cake for desert............. tasted like a brownie on steroids.
Today I arrived just in time for lunch. All I had to finish was to loose lay some carpet i a small bathroom and cut three doors.
I think during this 2 week job, I managed 5 dinners, 4 lunches, cookies and trail mix for snack with my coffee. I turned down dinner 3 times because I needed to get home before 8.
The job has been a real bitch.
