everyone welcome back to SB basic I want

to thank everyone for following along

our refit so far we've been kind of

sharing our journey for the past couple

months and getting a lot of positive

feedback a lot of thumbs up a couple

thumbs down but that comes with the

territory the comments love the comments

there's good comments there's bad

comments but they're all good we're all

learning from them especially me

so keep the comments rolling in I do

want to address we keep getting three

comments you know that are reoccurring

reoccurring reoccurring so one is what

is the boats backstory we're gonna get

into that not today but we will get into

that one

what is our personal backstory and once

things slow down and we're cruising and

we have a little more time we'll get

into that right now we're busy building

this boat which brings me to the third

reoccurring question which is what did

the boat look like when you bought it

versus what does it look like now and

how do we get to that point well we're

gonna start looking at that and it is

it's a complicated answer so we're gonna

break it into multiple videos I'm gonna

just attack one area of the boat at a

time we'll start with the galley and

then we'll move to other areas and we're

at the same time we're gonna continue

working on this boat and getting it

ready for world travel our timeline is

starting to near the end so we got a lot

to do so let's take a look at this

galley this is gonna be our first

in-depth look at a finished part of the

boat and see how did we get to this

point so stand by and you'll see some

older photographs of how we got here

and what goes on behind the scenes to

get to this point

okay so we know what the gallery looks

like now but let's flashback to the day

we bought the boat I took a photograph

of the galley and here's what it looked

like it was very dated circa I don't

know look like 1990s and Eastern

hardrock maple cabinets nothing really

fit it was heavy

it was just clunky and it didn't look

like a nice nice galley

I had to as we all know Len loves to

cook I had to make her dream Cali so we

started over we ripped all the cabinetry

out and started with a clean slate just

like we have done in most areas of this

club

I'm gonna walk through here a little bit

show you just some of the detail these

curved areas create a lot of work

there's a lot of work up front

but it adds a nice detail this curved

area right here I mean I couldn't even

say I probably have 4050 hours just into

this area right here I mean from here as

I come around and I could fly through

the countertop here

with an old photo and show you what goes

on behind the scenes here

everything is radiused I did full inset

cabinet doors with continuous hinges

the countertops

believe it or not our granite

countertops on an ultralight substrate I

have under 20 pounds of countertops here

the Granite's is 64th of an inch thick

and honed with an epoxy topcoat

and I overlaid these to get a nice lip

give a little a little more counter

space

this pot up here was interesting to

build I had to come up with a way to

give it a light soffit over the counters

a light over the sink and I had this big

area up here this is actually the

MassDEP this that's stepped back into

this big main structure of the boat so I

couldn't cut into that at all so instead

I added at the same lines of the math

step as you can see it here now I had a

cabinet this door is not on yet it will

be on before we leave I'm just coming up

with a transparent door so this one's

gonna be a little bit different than the

others I kicked around many many

different cabinet designs especially

when it came to the end of this

Peninsula right here I wanted this to

have a little bit of sexy lines coming

through because this is kind of the

centerpiece of the galley and you know I

originally wanted to round it off but

then I figured out I can't get the

refrigerator through here or I couldn't

get the washer/dryer through here with

it round it off so I ended up coming

with this obscure shape that allowed me

to get a little more access through this

corner here but I really like how it

turned out

again everything is wrapped in glass

started with the same construction

method through the whole thing I've

built all the structure on this entire

cabinet job was done with a BG fir

because it's lightweight it's rot

resistant it's has a very good strength

to weight ratio and you'll see how I've

just inlaid small little pieces and then

overlaid it with marine grade fly and

just again really thin this is just

eight inch thin this is three millimeter

right here

I use 9-millimeter on the decks keep it

as light as I could because the strength

is coming with a glass cloth as I as I

wrap this

so again glass cloth is wrapped over

this entire area sanded and fared and

before we primed and painted but the

amount of work that went into this it

was crazy but again I'm a glutton for

punishment so

but the same language

as I said I'm a glutton for punishment

okay this little area here we ended up

just stripping this whole area down just

like everywhere else ground it down to

bare nightie core and just start it over

I started framing it up slowly started

with this wall here and then this wall

here those are my two points that I knew

I had to get the refrigeration into and

I just used a standard refrigerator size

for a full-size and I pulled you know I

built this box years before we put the

refrigerator in it's just this was a

common size I ended up using be cheaper

one by two just like I did all the other

cabinetry for the weight and strength

then I skinned it and a layer to the

glass cloth but I really paid attention

to this corner here this corner actually

is carrying a load for the ceiling here

and when I excavated all of this out I

did take a structural point out of the

gallon here but I have just replaced it

with this corner post and I've layered

extra glass cloth all the way through

and it actually sweeps way back in here

multiple layers along with a nice

compression post buried inside the wall

okay one thing I really paid attention

to was adding as much insulation as I

could around the refrigerator box

I made the walls inch and a half thick

and inlaid a high-density foam to bring

that r-value up as high as I could I

know that the box itself has insulation

but by adding extra insulation all the

way around this it's only gonna help

keep that compressor from cycling on and

off and using more power so I did what I

could

so when my dad built the galley he added

so many cool features but the best one

is the microwave microwave up see

microwave down

[Music]

alright guys now that teal has shown you

the construction end of the galley I'm

going to show you some of the features

that makes it the perfect galley for me

all right first thing I want to start

with is my sink this is the ultimate

sink ever on your last boat we had this

little bar sink that was like this big

six inches deep I struggle to either

wash a mug or a plate and teal found

this one at a marine closeout store it's

really big so we actually designed this

return or Peninsula or whatever you call

it around this think I can wash

everything in here I was actually

telling teals trying to sell it saying I

can wash Emma in here because when we

need purchased that she was - now we can

probably put compass in there okay guys

this is mixed out this is the force 10 -

burner oven broiler I love this stove I

cannot tell you how much I love it this

is actually how I learned how to cook on

this exact same stove on our last boat

so when we found it on Craigslist for a

fraction of the price and it was fired

up one time we jumped on it every spring

Emma and I plant our garden so it's a

special time for us to bond and this is

a must-have for my going

I love having fresh herbs

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

this next feature is pretty funny this

is our backsplash and I love it

teal wasn't too hip on it because in his

mind it was just too easy it was like he

thought there was something wrong with

it this is all stainless it's

lightweight and it literally took him

about five minutes to install because

it's peel and stick peel and stick and

he was just like there's something wrong

with it there has to be something wrong

with it but this is the first thing that

people notice is easy to clean it's all

stainless and I love it

a tour of my galley would not be

complete without showing my pantry

I have 39 4 quart containers that holds

all of my dry goods I'm a little spoiled

but this actually does contain

everything it holds all of our stuff so

I had my way I'd have 20 drawers

probably the teal gave me 3 and I am

estatic that I got three and they aren't

these full soft clothes sliders makes

life a lot easier and quieter so I saved

the best for last this is our victory

free go fridge this is eight point one

cubic feet of pure sexiness this is the

ultimate for me we kind of splurged on

it but I think it's well worth it and I

sold teal on it because it is drawing

only five point eight amps with a damn

Foss compressor and he was so I was so

happy
