I just past a one year mark. I have learned so much and still learning by my mistakes and from you guys online. It's not easy doing this life style Getting up each day trying to run a business. I have one to two guys working with me on the boat. I try to think what will be the thing we can work on each day that will show the most progress at the end of the day. Some days we get a lot done and others not as much, but when it comes down to it we are moving forward. It will be nice to get my windows done after waiting seven weeks for the glass just for the galley. It is just one day at a time and some work depends on the money coming in so I can buy more supplies to do more work. I just have to be careful and remember that buying things for the boat does not fix it working on it does. With some hard word work and a bit of money it will come together fast now.

Keeping up to date. This week update, weather was great so I spent most of my time outside. I did do a bit in my galley. I wired the island with five double plugs on four different circuits. Maybe a bit over kill but I feel I could need it. I have keep in mind dishwasher, microwave, and a garbage disposal in the island

I put in a hidden box that will be under the counter. This is for my macbook pro and my iphone

I got another one off craigslist this weekend, tried to get it inside and we had to take it all the way apart and put back together inside kinda kicked our butt. It will take me some time to make this many cabinets/doors so I need them there for a while.

I got my new/old refrigerator installed and hooked up. I have a two year old Bosh 36" refrigerator with three more years on the warranty still on it, I decided I wanted a new 48" sub zero but I don't have 9,500 to put into a refrigerator. I got on craigslist and found a 21 year old 48" that looks like new inside and works in Memphis TN, Yep last Saturday Bill and I drove to Memphis to a habitat for humanity Restore 220 miles and picked up a 532 sub zero for $500. It looked like hell in the store all apart with no front panels. That is why it was still there. I walked right by it twice looking for it. But I bet not many people in there Restore are looking for a $500 48" refrigerator. You had to know what it would look like when it was all back together.

I got it home and and installed it this week. I love it. Deb didn't understand or say anything but I could read her and she knows to trust me but now that it is in she understands and loves it to. I think I like the older one better then the new ones, the older ones have two sets of drawers and more shelves for more beer. or a extra shelf for making big dinners. Now I would trade for a new one but not for 9k. The frig part is 10.75" bigger then the bosh and the frezz is 4" bigger then bosh Now on the older ones there not much to go wrong and simple to fix all you have is two compressors and two thermostats. New refrigerators have to much auto stuff and don't do well with changing from generator to shore so much.

I also got a Manitowoc QM 30 Ice Machine for $500 off craigslist. they sell for about $1700 but I found one for $500. I need this so I can get the beer out of the frig and in coolers. I hate buying so much ice for party's and we will have a lot of them. If you are having a party then fill your coolers in the week and you will be ready for the weekend. I did this on my 42' Trojan boat.
