During the first winter a long long list of to do items, one by one was crossed off 2 years later its almost
done, being i doing all work myself.
That summer off we went on our first long vacation in a long long time. (well
deserved). During out vacation more items was added to the to do list.
During the second winter a few items were x'd out. Laid up with a bum back did get a new galley range
installed, forced air furnace installed. Old belching boiler removed piping & more wires (gads where does it all
come from) also installed a new washer & dryer, and converted a paint locker into a enclosure to hold 4 ten gallon
propane tanks connecting the propane stove,furnace, and hot water together via a common line according to abs standards
all the way through.
The starting of summer a date was set August 15 underway planning to attend Harbor days
