Do you know what's Fun

Very nice!!! I have thought to do quartz in those two areas as well.  I've been replacing the white laminate plywood with a different laminate over plywood.  The table is done and it is subtle, but a huge improvement!

I see your in Seattle, My daughter lives in Seattle I am supposed to visit for my granddaughters 1st birthday this summer

It is a beautiful place to have a boat.  The wind isn't always cooperative for cruising, but evening sails on the Sound are often a regular option.  I will often go out after work and sail till sunset.

My daughter and son inlaw live in Issaquah the last time I was down there they brought me to port Townsend and I got to see the boat Tally Ho (you tube). Very beautiful place.

Port Townsend is a cool spot and Tally Ho is one VERY special project.  I went up to visit Tally Ho once during the wooden boat festival.  It was amazing to see it in person.

Last weekend was so hot I didn't work on the boat. this weekend I got a few more things put together. I got new shelves cut and scribed to the old ones, I also installed FRP panels on the door to the head. I also finished up some of the small items that I had left to varnish. I included a picture of what the old shelve looked like. And what the new shelf looks like. I covered the new shelf with white contact paper for inside the cabinet. I think it gives it a clean feeling.

Looks good. Nice to tick off some more items on the list.

This weekend I was able to get a few more small items complete on the boat. I finished the top panel on the head door. This week I found a couple of 1/4 sheets of plywood that are either teak or something that looks exactly like it. After a couple of hours on the table saw and taking the old rotten bulkhead to the table saw I was able to glue the panels together and put the original cap on them and make new bulkheads. One for the nav station and one for the galley. I will have to wait til the countertops are in to put the galley bulk head in. I plan on putting the countertop in first and then sealing it to the hull so if I ever get another leak it will leak on top of the counter and not underneath it.

I dig it.  Keep the photos coming.

When I was building houses all the plumbing was copper. Now its Pex and to tell you the truth pretty darn easy. I ran all the pex to the anchor locker and set up the hot and cold manifolds. I was even able to pipe hot and cold to the head. I have the cold manifold connected to the output of the pump.
I think it will take one more weekend and Ill have all the plumbing completed.

I like it.  I plan to do the same but out of Uponor/pex A

[melp64]

What a difference it makes under the sink not to mention all those old nasty pipes are gone. I wanted all this done before my countertops are done.

[melp64]

Added some stops for the faucets and put together parts of the cabinets in the saloon. Does anyone know which intake is which on the water heater I have looked up the manual but it doesn't say which one is the cold and which on is the hot water coming out. The two bottom hoses are the ones coming from the engine, those have not been disconnected. Does it even matter which one is hot and which one is cold??? I uploaded the tag that is on the water heater.

When looking at the connections for cold (in) and hot (out) the connection on the left is hot (out).
