Creek progress

Recently I spent a week at the creek by myself and in spite of the not perfect weather I was able to get quite a bit done. Our Christmas trip allowed us to get the floor done in the master bedroom but we weren't able to finish the trim on windows and doors nor get the bifold doors installed. I decided to go again for a week and see how much of that I could get done. I also wanted to bring home a boat that my dad built over 20 years ago and see if I could restore it. It is in pretty rough condition but I think I can fix it. I will also make a sail for it so I can sail it. I spent about 3 or 4 days getting the window and door facings stained and varnished. Then we had a day of rain with about 2.5 inches falling that day. But I did get the facings on the doors and windows in the bedroom and the window facings on in the dining room. We are ready to lay flooring in the dining room and finish the doors and baseboards in there. Hopefully we will get these done when we are down for spring break. I also finshed up putting the balusters on the porch railing which I didn't finish at Christmas because I ran out of material then.  I still wasn't able to get the bifold doors in the bedroom done but maybe I can get them done spring break as well. Above is a picture of the woodwork and below is a picture of the boat and another of a sunset.
This is the old boat that I will take home. It is 15 feet long and will hang out the back of the truch by about 7 feet.
Here is a nice sunset picture as well.
