1972 Hobo Houseboat Restoration

Dianne J. Denton — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 00:29:49 +0100

We bought this house boat this past summer. We did not realize how much work it really needed. The more we got into it the more we came to realize it was beyond our capabilities to actually complete.

I too at times had my doubts as to if this project would make it to the rebuilding stage. But here we are, and it's allRead More...

I'm not much of a blogger, but I'm going to try to update this as I learn more about this stuff. Kinda as a refeRead More...
