Project Log: Sunday, August 5, 2012
After removing the masking tape from the areas I painted
last time, I prepared to install the two shelves in the
former hanging locker. I ran the fresh water
supply line for the forward tank down from the PVC
conduit, which ran behind the galley, and to the space
beneath the lower shelf, protecting the hose from chafe
with some lengths of sacrificial hose in a couple key
areas. |
 |
I installed the lower shelf with screws along three
edges. This would allow easy removal in the future
if I needed better access to the utility space beneath. |
 |
Then I installed the upper shelf, again with screws
along the two edges that had cleats. Later, during
trim-out stages, I'd add a cleat and trim across the
face of this shelf to hide the plywood edge grain and
help support the shelf. For the remaining portions
of the locker, I needed some additional materials, so
this was as far as I could go for the moment. |
 |
It seemed as good an opportunity as any to complete the
hose run forward to the final water tank. I'd led
the supply line from the locker into the storage area
beneath the v-berth, and to continue it to the tankage
space I secured it along the after bulkhead, then
forward beneath the berth platform to a new hole I
drilled through the water tank bulkhead, which I lined
with more sacrificial chafe hose before completing the
hose run to the supply valve on the tank.

 |
In the galley, I installed a pump soap dispenser for
dish soap. Because of the numerous spigots, and
other clearance concerns, I chose to locate the
dispenser off to one side. |
