Old table - this is the only pic I could find of the
old table. It is a great example of why it broke in the first
place!
Justin varnishing our new smaller teak tabletop. Justin cut the
edges for easy in and out and the smaller table makes it easier to
lounge on those settees now.
Old panel pic - unfortunately you can't see it too well or how boring it was
to appreciate the great job Justin has done with the new one. You can see that we never
used the book shelf though!
New panel. We had to treat some rust behind
the old one. We chucked the book shelf making more bunk space.
Justin nailed the individual strips of wood you see to a plain sheet of
wood behind. We have curtains but they aren't up yet.
Did I mention we had to sleep in the salon for a while? We went
back and forth with insulation options but in the end went with
Styrofoam sheets that we glued onto the hull. Spray insulation
surrounds the Styrofoam.
The Slaves
A few months after this pic of the old galley was taken, the middle of
the countertop started bowing in the center. Every time it got wet
it got worse.
New Galley! New sink - note the depth! New oven, new
cabinets (teak), new spice rack, new counters that aren't rotting!
I can't find a picture of the old sink, which was VERY small, so here is a pic of the galley
under construction instead!
We plan to install a bar from one cupboard to the other to secure
things in the middle but otherwise we are done!
Other side of galley. The icemaker is now boxed in and has a tall
2 shelved bread vented bread cupboard next to it (it's dark but you can
just see the door).
Old head - basin never fit properly and the shower was a hand held.
Cupboards were falling apart.
The new forward head cabinets and sink!
The new shower and shower curtain. Now when someone has a
shower the entire room doesn't have to get drenched - well, unless the kids are
in there!
The only pic of the old instrument panel. It was made of rotting
wood (how nice) which eventually fell apart in Key West in the middle of a
hair raising
docking experience.
The new instrument panel. We can watch movies on the GPS screen whilst
sailing - great for night watches!
New marine grade carpet which is surprisingly soft. It has rubber
backing and is repels water. I don't have pictures of the old
floors. The old
floor was/is oak strips that we have sealed and covered with carpet.
The carpet is wonderful and feels
more like a home. The kids love it.
New salon headliners. I don't have pictures of the old ones as
I never took a picture of the ceiling!
Replaced encroaching headliners. They were literally falling down.
