Picked up the second set of tiles today: an octopus, jellyfish, whale tail, anchor, crab, Golden Gate Bridge, and the Big Dipper pointing to Polaris. Looking pretty good.
The 2nd set of tiles is ready
First test of the plumbing
Performed the first test of the pluming by connecting a hose to the city water inlet. Almost everything worked just fine. So awesome to have faucets in the galley and head working! A few leaks showed up but I think all of them can be fixed with adding plumbers tape. Off to a good start!
Head sink drain
Plumbed in head sink to seacock.
Galley sink drain
Spliced in a Y joint into the drain line and connected galley sink to it. Royal pain
First set of tiles is ready!
The first set of custom tiles is ready: a lighthouse, seashell, starfish, marlin, mermaid reading a book, seagulls, and a horse running through water.
Installed galley table
Deck shower / city water inlet / galley faucet
Ran the plumbing for deck shower, city water inlet, and galley faucet. Getting close to the testing/debugging phase.
Head wired in
Finally, chainplate covers!
It’s been years since the chainplates were put in place and all these years I’ve been missing the chainplate covers. Things started leaking so I couldn’t wait any longer. These were hard to find as the chainplates are pretty massive: 2.5″ x 0.25″ in profile. I finally found a pair at Hansen Rigging!
Connected fireplace
With help from my friend Viktra, the fireplace was wired to DC so that blower works and the propane hose was connected. Can’t wait to test it out.
