Getting closer to being done!

[SS MAYFLOAT]

Gimble and outdrive back on, engine in and runs, water storage up and running, just finished installing 13,500btu air condition, and new shore power wiring.

All that is left is tieing up wires, woodwork to refinish, and installing the cabin furniture.

Never will I modify anything on a big boat again that is this major. Mainly it was all due to installing my new water storage system. In the long run I know it will pay off in the extra storage capacity and the performance of the boat.

Have a shop that is coming out to reseal the front windshield. It still leaks and that is what is causing unwanted water in areas that have rotted out.

I would have never guessed that it would have taken so long to get this project done. Wife is getting upset because I'm surpose to be getting our new windows put in the house. They have been in the basement for about 2 years now still in the box.

SS,

Glad to hear nearing the end. Every project I have ever worked on usually works out to the first 90% of the project takes 90% of the time, the last 10% takes the other 90% of the time

Good luck.

Peace.

Ed.

Glad to hear you have stuck with it! Can't wait to see the photos.

As for the windows, let your wife know that for a proper window installation, the windows themselves need to "season" inside the basement for a MINIMUM of two years before they are installed. Otherwise they will give her problems that she couldn't even imagine!d

I would just tell my wife..."Look here, woman. A man's got to have his priorities, and if you think for one second...."................hang on, she's coming.
