Hi guys!

I was out sick most of this week. Nothing too horrible - just a bit of man flu. Despite my bout with dead, I still managed to finish the gimbaled box and get started on putting together the vanity in the head and the sink area in the galley. 

Right now, the big challenge is figuring out the heater in the head. Once that's figured out, I can finish the vanity in a day or two. Mr cement boat guy and I are almost ready to start building the new boiler (were both going to build one at the same time). Once I have the boiler, then it'll be easy to experiment with different heater options. The DIY radiator from a water-cooled PC seems very interresting. It's cheap and highly custimazable. I don't know yet if it's a good option. 

Since finishing the video Ava and I looked at the options for sinks and found a nice one as well as a faucet with a pull-out rinsing thingy that Ava likes. That means I can finish building the galley next week as soon as it's warm enough to use epoxy. Long story short, I no longer have electricity aboard Athena, but in a few days, Athena should get moved to the workshop (not inside though). That was the secret I was the surprise I mentioned in the video. It'll be fantastic to have all our tools and materials right next to the boat! That should give me a nice boost in productivity, and with some of the stainless work coming up, being about to double-check measurements is amazing. 

I hope all of you have had a fantastic weekend. Thank you so much for your support!

Mads - For Heat You might check out the products on: https://www.suremarineservice.com/Heat/ In particular the REAL Hydronic ones - I plan to put one in running off my waste engine heat. I know you can use them with Hydronic systems as well. Also have you taken a look at Nigel Calder's Integral system? Might be worth a look.

One more thought. As to kitchen sink - it is really nice to have a deep sink onboard a sailboat.
