Day 248 - Done enough

After one very long day she's done.

Or at least done enough that if the weather holds out tomorrow I'll be taking the top off the shed and moving the boat to the trailer.

List of things done today.

1) Front side of front windows scraped.
2) Found a gap in the forward edge of the roof, filled with spackle and then painted.
3) Hole drilled in one of the access hatches in the cuddy.
4) Mounting points for the porta-potty restraints installed.
5) GPS mount got another coat of white paint. GPS antennae installed with screws and 4200. GPS antennae cable run and added to the NMEA 2000 network. Cable and wire restraint removed and re-installed for the GPS cable.
6) Floor in cuddy and cabin got it's final coat of paint with a commercial anti-skid mixed in.
7) PEX conduit for the shifter/throttle cables cut to length, installed and 5200'd into place.
8) Cabinet door latch built and installed.
9) Rear window cut and installed with white silicone.
10) Rear door installed along with upper door track. Last coat of paint on the inside and outside of the door.
11) Extra wiring in the starboard battery bay cleaned up and put away.
12) A plan was developed for moving the boat to the trailer and building the fixtures needed to do that.
13) Cleaning the floor of the shed.
14) Moving all the spare wood into the garage.
15) Moving all the spare PVC outside.
16) Taking all the power tools out to the truck.
17) Filling three more trash bags with stuff to throw away.
18) Starting to box up stuff that's not needed any more.

Kim came over today to help and spent most of her time cleaning. Not glamorous and the one task I tried very hard not to ask any of my volunteers to do, but today it mattered. She also helped with the rear window and with hauling stuff out.

Very tired. Maybe longest day yet. Motor should be here, might get it installed Thursday.

Happy 4th!
