Busy weekend

[mregan]

Well, the projects started piling up this weekend:

Pulled out both water tanks and took them home to clean out. 
Ripped out all the plumbing and began installing all new plumbing. 
Removed galley sink.  Deciding on whether to clean up or replace.  Need to replace the faucet. 
After that came out, figured I might as well pull out the countertop to re-formica.  Found a bit of rot on it so that will now be replaced. 
Removed the water tank vent & stanchion and epoxied the holes.  I'm re-routing the vent to a thru hull right below the foward water tank fill.
Removed the holding tank vent & stanchion and epoxied the holes.  That one had a visible leak so I need to remove the shelf directly below it. Bottom of shelf is rotted (anyone know how this comes out) 
Vent will now go out a thru hull in almost the same location.
Also removed the formica shelf right above the elec. panel.  This was soaked from the vent stanchion leak.  New one will have to be fabricated and new formica added.
Removed the entire nav table.  If everything else is getting new formica, figured this would need to as well.
Ordered new elec. panel, old one needed to go.
When I removed the starboard cabin water tank, noticed the fiberglass holding one of the stringers in was cracked.  Cut that out and started re-glassing.
Removed oven/stovetop.  Trying to figure out if I can separate and just keep the stovetop part and discard the oven portion.

Projects I passed onto my father:
Sand/strip re-finish all the sole pieces (completed)
Sand/strip and refinish all interior cabinet doors and drawers (in process)
He'll also be sanding and re-finishing most of the interior teak

Future know projects:
Remove shelf in head.  Rotted from holding tank vent leak.
Lower half of bulkhead separating head from cabin is rotted and needs to come out and be replaced.
Install new gps in cockpit.
Install alternator bracket
Install wiring harness upgrade
Remove and re-finish exterior teak

mre : WOW !! You are a work-a-holic.

I have a friend who's mother loved to varnish!!  In fact she wrote the instructions on how to varnish for Hinkley!! She was really good at it!   

I've never had such luck.  In fact my 1st Mate (for 59 years) has said that if the USCG ever calls and asks what kind of vessel we are, she is going to answer "we're a WORK boat"!! 
I do not jest!!
