Stove Project: Day 13
Another day beavering away getting the boat back to normal. Engineer spends most of the morning continuing to fit extra polystyrene around the refrigerator. Mate helps with putting fridge in, taking fridge out until all new insulation finally fitted and engineer bolts the fridge back in place, and then we refit the side and front panels. There are fragments of polystyrene everywhere, all over the floor, the walls, the engineer. Mate vacuums. And vacuums. Engineer moves on into the bed area, and slaves away again restoring the cedar panelling that was removed. Since it now has a gasline behind it, this requires a degree of modification and adjustment to allow the extra space for the new pipe. Once that's done, mate puts things away in the under-bed hatches, moves the mattress back out of the front cabin into the guest cabin and makes the bed. More vacuuming, removing ever more polystyrene which has spread through the boat. Finally, we tidy up all the tools, bits and pieces that have been used on the project and get them stowed away in their proper places in the "shed" (aka the aft starboard side cabin). We still haven't had time to shop, so it's back to the club for a carvery tea to get the strength for a last tidy up.
