We finally got around to replacing the nasty, and I do mean nasty, 40 year old headliner in our 34 classic today. The best thing about it, other than brightening up the stateroom immensely, is that we had to remove the portlights for the liner replacement anyway so we killed 2 birds because all of the ports leaked a bit & needed resealing. They came right out because the caulk was non-existent and what was there was dry & brittle. They could stand replacing but they'll have to do for the time being. Tomorrow we'll replace the portlights & trim out the edges of the liner and, while it's not a perfect installation, it's way better than it's been for a long while.
I added a deck fill for the water tank to replace the stupid one that Mainship put in the cockpit floor. I hated it there, plus that's where the propane locker is going to go, between the salon door/windows & the flybridge ladder.
A while back I replaced the fixtures in the galley & head and did away with the sink faucet/shower combo thing and added a regular shower wand & water control so I filled the water tank & checked everything for leaks. All good.
I also added a separate fused switch panel to take care of all of the pumps onboard since the breaker panel was getting too crowded for the anchor washdown pump I installed and the cockpit washdown I have yet to install.
I'm much more productive in warm weather plus my wife has us booked for several cruising events already. I guess she's had enough of the boat being on the hard & replacing decks for the last 2 seasons!
