In addition, each time he went to the boat (about one week a month), he brought back a pickup truck load of stuff (tools, spare parts, linens, dishes, pots & pans,books, rugs, lamps, etc.) home to be sorted into one of four piles: 1. throw away, 2. store, 3. donate to good will or 4. take back to the boat. Everything taken back to the boat was cleaned and/or refinished as required.
Brass clocks, barameters and lamps were cleaned and sprayed with an acrilic coating, rugs were cleaned or replaced.
Most woodwork was refinished with satin varnish (the original finish by Endeavour) however some of the trim, the companionway stairs and the Navagation table top were finished in either gloss Epifanes varnish or glossy polyeurthane.
