Last night Jason finished the main wiring and actually turned on the power to make sure it didn’t blow up! Luckily, all went well and our battery monitor and other equipment powered up without any issues.  Here’s a better picture of the wiring.  We learned a lot when we rebuilt our boat and a lot of what we learned was how to properly wire things.  I think it looks pretty slick!

We also test fit the countertops to measure some more pieces to finish up the galley structure.  I’m really pleased with the color, I just need to slap come glossy clearcoat over it and then we can install!

Since the structure is pretty much done for the galley, we’ve started working on installing some of the pieces that go inside.  The main one is the heater.  It’s really important to camping comfort and it gets hot and requires a lot of space, so finding the perfect place for it to go was vital.  We settled on the outboard bulkhead behind the sink.  It should be out of the way but still accessible. Decision made! Time to start on a foundation for it.

One of our goals for the weekend was to get the entire shell dried in and lockable.  Since the waterproof sealant we’re using is only good for an hour or so after you open it and it’s very expensive, we try to seal up as many things as possible while we have a tube open!  We needed it for the door, so we decided to also seal up the access hatches to get to the forward camper tie downs in the truck bed, and the water fill.  Unfortunately, the water fill I bought on Amazon required way too huge of a hole, so Jason ran to West Marine and got an actual boat water fill. It looks slick.

Mission accomplished!

Now that  most of the galley is done and we’ve begun outfitting it was time to revisit the doors that Jason cut out of the huge faceplate panel a few weeks ago.  I sanded them down and painted them.  (at least the backs… had to wait for them to dry. I’ll get the fronts tomorrow.)

And since I was painting anyway, I wanted to go ahead and get some final paint on the inside of the cabinets so they would be done and ready to install hardware and doors on.

We had to run and get some bolts, but the fancy pull our drawer should be mounted tomorrow and I’m hoping for most of the actual cabinet doors as well! I feel like we got a ton done yesterday, but today was spent just finishing things up and cleaning up messes.  At least we have something to show for it!
