Salon Interior Restoration-What is next?

It has been a hot minute since we last posted a video, we have missed you all! We've been busy making that money to keep funding the refit, and it has been an absolute wild ride into 2026! In this episode we step back into time...August of 2025 to be exact! We have just completed the ENTIRE CHAINPLATE INSTALL & are now beginning to put our interior back together! This of course means, trimming our teak to fit the new size (ever so slight) larger chainplates...and all that goes with it. All the teak that had spent years getting damp from leaks had to be stripped and refinished. Please enjoy this episode, as it is going to be ONLY part 1 of likely several videos--Reconstruction of our salon interior. Travis has had a large hand in the making of this video, he has done all of the 360 footage stitching! It is pretty cool, I must say...very nifty camera we will be using more in future videos! If you enjoyed this video, or would like to see anything in detail of the work we do, just let us know!
