Much better luck this week! (New diesel tank) (Patreon)
Content
Hi guys,
I'm happy to report there were no 102 incidents this week ;) I've got the new diesel tank installed (still waiting for the stainless straps). I think it turned out reasonably well :)
In regards to the kitchen island, I'm planing something a little different. Because that surface is our only real worksurface in the galley, I'd like to build it so that the entire countertop lifts up and out of the way. Think of it as a chest freezer but with a top that remains horizontal when opened. Typically you see little openings into toploading fridges on boats. No doubt to try to improve efficiency. I'm playing around with the idea of having the entire top open up (again, much like a chest freezer). I think it'll be an exciting experiment. If it turns out it's consuming too much energy, I can always modify it down the road :)
It still gets cold here during the nights, and we get quite a bit of dew. I'd like to get started on the deck-hull joint and the rest of the exterior projects, but I have to consider the weather. Hopefully, I can start sanding and prepping the deck-hull joint this week.
Meanwhile, COVID-19 is playing tricks. I've got three packages from the US on the way here (or I hope they're on their way here). One is a commercially available alternative to my DIY boiler, one is the exhaust parts, and the last one is a heat exchanger (fan heater). Because the company that very kindly gave me the heater wasn't set up for shipping things overseas, I told them they could just send it to Ava, and I'd ship it back here. So I did on April 20th. None of the packages have arrived yet (they haven't updated track&trace info since April 24th). We can't get any information from the US or the Danish post office, and I didn't purchase insurance on any of the three packages. I'm starting to fear that might not have been a good decision. Hopefully, they'll get here eventually!
I hope you guys have had a good weekend and that you're all safe and well. Thank you so much for your support :)
