okay how about finish the master head

couple things left I stuff to finish the

shower which I'll do this summer it's

winter I'm doing it into your projects

and it's kind of children I have some

hardware issues back ordering pizzas so

I can finish the cabinet's the

countertops but for the most part I'm

happy with it and I'm gonna jump onto

the next big project which is about ten

times this size it's the gut stateroom

wife's anxious for me to get started on

this I don't know why just for the past

five years

it looks like this it's my workshop so

I've got a lot to do in here make this

presentable

about two to three months worth to ask

my wife

give you an idea of what its gonna look

like I've already completed the master

stateroom which is a mirror image to

that room it's over on this hall come

down here and this is what it looks like

so what I ended up doing I shaped the

port lights out of here bulkheaded

straight down added some lockers here

nice hanging lockers here a bulkheaded

here put a nice big storage locker there

LED lighting even had room to throw in a

shoe locker for my wife built a cowling

over the diesel engine with nice easy

access and it turned out pretty good a

couple things left will be replacing the

port lights this summer and new hatches

so you see I have my work cut out for me

I better get started

[Music]

[Music]

have to be real delicate excavating all

this old cabinetry out of the boat I'm

working with the bridge deck like a

little way you can actually see the

sunlight

telegraphing through the hole it's about

an inch thick the whole materials nighty

core to honeycomb composite

- mesmerizing started to shape things in

this would be the headboard this would

be the light soften up here starting to

drop this wall down here this will carry

through which will create hanging

lockers and storage lockers that would

be a mechanical Locker over there okay

let's check out my progress on the gas

steam room

[Music]

okay I've got the this project is

roughed in you see the basic shape of

what we're going for

it's a good-sized stateroom queen-size

birth of doing everything out of

ultralight materials to keep the weight

down weight is very important on that

Motel so what I've done is I use

honeycomb composite core and I'll

laminate us just an 8-inch mahogany skin

on there and that allows me to get a

nice strong product then I'll be able to

lay fiberglass cloth on then I'll be

able to fair it prime it and paint it

with just the minimal amount away so

it's turn copper to get so far I've also

added this light soften through here and

this works twofold it'll be a light

soffit an electrical chase but it also

acts as a deck stiffener I had a little

bit of flexing in the jack right there

and so I'm beat this up it'll be glass

all in and help support weight on the

deck when we get multiple people up

there anyway projects come along I'm not

happy with it so far we'll see how it

turns out and in their future I've been

battling weather this winter in Seattle

boy it's been miserable rain wind snow

even but we're getting through it this

rings really difficult to keep the

temperature up for the epoxy to kick I

have been putting heat in our living

space so we could live there on the

night but once Emma goes to school went

off to work

I could shut the heat down there and use

the amps to to really heat this room up

to try and get the epoxy to kick so it's

a constant battle trying to get this

room done in the winter it would go so

much faster than the in the summertime

but I did we sort

the time we just gotta keep cranking

along what I've done is after I roughed

this in I went through and coated

everything with an 8 ounce cloth and

West system epoxy I went through and

layered it over everything the lights

off it is now blended into the deck

everything's nice and strong and

moisture proof next I'm going to put a

nice just ultra thin layer of a marine

grade carry compound but I'll do is I'll

just skim this on as thin as I can

and after I you skim this entire room

I'll sand it all out and prime it after

I crying I'll be able to cut all the

lockers in I've got some lockers going

into this this wall here I've got

lockers going into this one here so and

then I'll be able to cut my access and

for the engine calendar after I cut

those out I'll pair those black those

prime and paint and I'll throw them

after soon get some cushions in here

it'll be a finished a room so

[Music]

[Music]

Oh

sweet something even though you have

skim-coat this about probably about a

six piece of an inch steak on her you

end up sanding it down to about 1/32 of

an inch so for every gallon of Ferenc

compound to use you create about a

gallon of dust

and this stuff is nasty Caitlin's off to

work and was off to school finish my

work for the day and the puppy is asleep

do not poke the demon he likes when I

make a lot of noise so I'm gonna head

down to the guest stateroom and get some

work done let's see where we stand

cap finished skin coding this entire

room with a faring compound I've sanded

everything out it's nice and smooth and

ready for primer but before I do that

I've laid out all my lockers I've got

blockers going down here I've got a

locker here I've got a mechanical Locker

over there and all I do is just lay it

out right on the wall and cut on the

line

Russell laid out the engine cowl because

this will open up and I've laid out I

have to do a a small curve on the ground

here so the flooring could be accepted

in there that's all coming up before I

cut this locker out I'll drill a radius

with a hole saw to get the is when you

use your jig saw to take a radius it may

wander and not be a nice square radius

so I use a whole song today

[Music]

it's Sunday I'm just trying to get

caught up with the workweek this is very

typical it's always a different project

but what we deal with every day just

kind of work-life and extension cords

dust grinding Emma doesn't even notice

hi

[Music]

[Applause]

what you got going on well working on me

this is the exhaust manifold riser right

here so I have to build a cowling that

goes around us to keep the engine noise

and out of the closet keep all the ends

and smells everything out of the closet

itself that's what I'm working on so

this will look nice sure enough I have

everything

so we're always bumping into things and

but it's all temporary this will all be

gone so when you're sanding by hand you

gotta be real careful these little

shards of glass will get into your

fingers and

that's what they look like

very sharp wearing rubber gloves won't

help you just gotta be careful okay this

is it months and months of work in this

guest stateroom I did it over the winter

which I thought was a good idea because

I'll be inside working out of the rain

but in retrospect it was brutal keeping

the temperature up in this room to put

the epoxies to cure the faring compound

to cake it was it was tough but it's

done took me a little longer than I

thought

but everything's prepped and smooth and

fair and ready for me so I am happy with

it so far but after the paint goes down

that's my report card that'll tell me

how well I did so better he'd add it

I am just amazed watching the changes to

our guest stateroom looking at it now

versus what we started with

I find us so lucky teal has the ability

and the patience that I know I will

never have to fight through the project

in the middle of winter you have no idea

what the struggle was I'm so glad teal

makes it look easy I am anxious for the

room to be completed because that means

we can have guests on board okay this is

after about a week of painting what I've

done is taking the door off and put as

tight of seal as I put on here the fumes

of the polyurethane is unbearable

and we are still living aboard so I

didn't want to like kill my daughter or

my wife so I did the best I could seal

it off and ventilate it from inside

let's get in well sneak peek this is

after a couple coats of bright side in

here starting to get white I'm going to

close it up dance to get into the boat

I'm happy with it

keep this sealed up we'll let it cure

for about two or three days before I

crack it open and start putting her back

together
