(Eric cutting access under the forward guest head)
Progress over the last two weeks has been good, in spite of Eric having to make time for a side job.
Plumbing manifolds have been built, installed and partially plumbed. Lots of old galvanized pipe has been removed from the bilge to make way for updated hose and fittings.
New storage shelving units were built, painted and installed in the engine room.
More organizing throughout the engine room and on deck, which included two large loads of scrap copper wire which will help fund needed project supplies.
And the water tank grinding has begun!
Manifold for the guest head sink, shower and head. Also the forward bow deck wash.
Manifold in the forward water heater locker.
