Bye bye old head (Patreon)

Hi guys!

Phew! How we were going to fit a washing machine (and possibly a dryer) has been on my mind for a long time. It's a huge relief to have finally figured it out :) Not only that, but we also squeezed in a freezer and two more tanks. That was the last piece of the puzzle! Now all I have to do is to build it ;)

I've just ordered the bolts and washers I need to reinstall the steering pedestal next week. I removed the steering pedestal two years ago to repair some damage in the cockpit. The old engine control housing was severely corroded, and rather than buy an entire new pedestal I had a new top plate and engine control hosing made in stainless. It's going to look super spiffy! :D Pics coming in a few days! 

The flywheel housing for the DIY diesel generator is ... kind of ... on its way. Unfortunately, they are out of stock. Perkins is casting a new lot, but that will take around 90 days. I was hoping to have the generator completed before modifying the tech compartment, but I can't afford to wait 90 days. I'll assume everything works out with the flywheel housing and modify the technical compartment accordingly. 

I'm heading back up to Athena to tidy up and prepare for tomorrow. It's nice to start the week with a tidy workspace :) 

I hope you've all had an awesome weekend. Thank you so much for your support :) Stay safe :)
