(Eric installing helm lighting)
- All the overhead lighting in the helm is finished!! A red light is over each side door exit and two white lights over the work stations on each side of the center helm. The other five lights can transition with a flip of the wall switch, from red to blue to white.
- Next project will be the galley. This is a large project and will go in stages.
- The paint station has been on and around the galley side bench for the last three years and has been moved to the main salon.
(Eric & Penny working on wiring)
- A big shout-out and thank you to Jared and Kalie for all their help and encouragement during the first week of November!
- The generator is now running smoothly along with both radars.
- The helm cabin now has working outlets and lights! The last things needed for operational use are a single and a full mattress for the two bunks. The head still needs to be installed in the future but is not necessary for use as a guest cabin. Next up will be installing helm lighting.
- Eric also installed a red light to illuminate the head of the stairwell
- Kalie was a great help and encouragement for Mary in the galley and accomplishing several projects inside and outside the ship.
(Eric measuring for building rat guards)
Penny started alerting on a rat entry area a few days ago. Eric sprung into action and built rat guards to cover the air vent grate leading into the engine room. Time will tell if they were just visiting or have moved in already. He saw a bit of rat sign on the back deck but it's still pretty warm here during the day so hopefully they were here just for the night.
