Wye not?
Happy New Year!! A few parts I needed showed up in the mail this week so I spent a little time working on the Electro Scan wastewater treatment system.
Two tears in a bucket
So while I wait on the Big Brown Truck to deliver a few more parts I need in order to finish installing the new Electro Scan treatment unit, I thought I’d build the salt injection tank system…
Holding Tank Pitfalls
I’ve been perplexed by our holding tank for some time. We estimate it holds a whopping 15 gallons. We only use it now for #1 and only in the morning and maybe once at night. Luckily the marina bathrooms are uber nice and we’re both gone at work all day during the week so it […]
We’re so full of shit…
Holding tanks… Ohhhhh yeah, the bane of every boat owner. Shit and forget. That’s the policy. Until things break, of course. And then, that’s when the “shit hits the fan…” (quite literally so to speak, from experience).
Tank fiasco
So we haven’t talked much about the water tanks lately, mainly because we’re hooked up directly to the dock water and don’t really think about them too much. We had one leaky, 90 gallon, stainless steel tank that lived in our bilge. We removed that and bought one 48 gallon and one 36 gallon poly […]
Tick Tock!
Less than two weeks to go until we are officially full-time liveaboards. I’ve been running around trying to find storage bins for everything we’re putting in the storage unit and on the boat. I still have three portlights and the brass bell to scrub with acid before we leave the condo.
Clock is ticking…
Oh Lord, 13 days and counting until I have to have this boat in a somewhat “habitable” condition. I haven’t been posting much, because I’ve pretty much been spending every waking moment working on the boat. I see my wife maybe 1 day out of 6 lately.
Refrigeration is a Wonderful Thing
I was starting to doubt I would ever see the day we had a working refrigerator…but that day is here (or so I thought). Rich worked on the electrical connections yesterday, and first thing this morning he coiled up the evaporator plate and stuck it in the freezer. That part went smoothly; getting it uncoiled […]
Yowza!
I finished cleaning the bilge yesterday. Today, I hurt. My forearms ache from gripping the scrub brush; my back is sore from bending over all day and I accidentally tried to stand up while still under the salon table (not something I recommend anyone try); and my shoulders hurt from holding the palm sander. Was […]
