Table installed (closed)

Tra-la! And after months of work the table if finally on the boat. And just so you know, it was worth it. In the folded position (shown here) we can get to the back of the settee and into the storage underneath with little fuss. Not to mention that it looks so much nicer that the old table.

Table to the varnish booth

The table is done and I have applied about 8-10 coats of varnish to all visable sides. Now it is time for the varnish booth. Though I have now been 'trained' on how to apply varnish via a spray gun Mark is the expert so I allowed him to apply the 3 final spray coats. (OK, so I begged him.). Mark tell me that now I can help him restore and old car when our travels take us back to land.....not sure that I want to but we shall see.

Electrical Panel Cabinet installed

And here is the finished product (minus the actual panels of course....). Next step is to cut the holes in the cabinet doors for the electrical panels...then of course the wiring begins in ernest. Though we have been pulling wires for newly installed items as we go along.

Electircal Cabinet on the wall

We dragged the new cabinet to the boat and hung it on the wall of the Nav Office. Wow, what a tight fit...it always amazes me to see how closely Mark makes the wood fit the spaces.

Electrical cabinet varnish

As summer gets under way the varnish booth moves once again to the dining room. The electrical cabinet is too big to be hauled up and down stairs safely so the house once again become topsy tervy. (I wonder if this is spelled correctly...spell check no help here!) Here I am with the unwieldy thing in the driveway sanding it in preparation for another coat of varnish

New Stereo Shelves done

And here are the shelves done. One more item deleted from our punch list!

New Stereo Shelves installed

The shelves and cabinets are done and installed on the starboard (right) side of the main salon. We used all the components from our home stereo on the boat rather than buying new. They aren't exactly water proof but they should be out of harms way in any event...
