Houseboat build, pg6...

 A bit more work is underway on the Tiny-Houseboat project. Debbie has been working on the pontoon paint. We decided to sand and paint the outer pontoons to fill some minor pitting, and protect them from future corrosion. One of the photos below catches Debbie under the boat, working away with the orbital sander. 

Next, I got the Trex decking installed for the front patio. I still have to finish drilling, countersinking, and installing the deck screws through the Trex and into the lower aluminum framework. 

The last photo is a snap of Debbie's handiwork with the marine epoxy. We still have to lift the pontoons up off of the trailer bunking for application of the marine epoxy finish, once she has the epoxy applied to all of the exposed areas. Once the epoxy is finished, she'll be applying a top coat to color match the pontoons to the houseboat exterior trim. Here's the pics...
