Renovations

Kurt says:

With Alison moving to the boat in a month I have to finish a whole lot of projects I started. I just finished pulling all the LP gas appliances from the galley and replacing them with electric alternatives. Gas scares me. My LP system has a leak in it somewhere so I have never used it. With Alison coming aboard it would be nice to be able to cook things other than pasta and soup. Food is love, so says Alison. I added a second 30 amp input and a new distribution panel with three circuits -- one for the convection oven, one for the microwave and another for an outlet. We will use a portable induction stovetop for our boiling and frying needs.

Next on the list is repairing some of the leaks that I have lived with for the past four years. Condensation will be a major problem in the winter and I would like to limit the amount of moisture in teh boat as best I can. After that I will continue to remove the nasty old carpet that lines the hull and replace it with cedar slats. There are a couple of shelves to add and maybe a cabinet or two for good measure ... and extra storage.

I also have to finish replacing the oil pump on the engine so I can get rid of all the engine parts that are scattered about. Once the engine is running our alternative power source will be complete.

Almost Done. Just some trim work.
