More work in the Galley

I've finished the water tank and the cabinet frame for the galley.  Now I have to line the stove area with heat resistant tiles.  First I'll line it with Hardyboard.  Sorry, I didn't take a picture of just the tile.



The tile is finished and the stove is set in place.  I have to take it out once more to put in the heat exchanger for hot water.


I've finished the trim, again, no picture, on the water tank and the port cabinet.

Well ... for all those following the re-building of Chasing Summer, I have an update for you.
First off, today was my last day of P/T employment so now I can spend all my days, while the daylight hours are long, working on the boat.  Maybe in the fall when the days shorten I'll get winter employment.  It depends on how the funds hold out.

I've been concentrating the galley for the past few weeks.  Ya, I know, I jump around.  I have a short attention span ... OK.

At one time I had the galley stove in but because after sliding it in I realized I hadn't left enough clearance for air circulation.  Also, in moving the divider over 2 inches it was easier to interface with the front of the fore/aft cabinet infront of the water tank.  ... I've got a general layout in my head but it also kind of design and build as I go.  I've only torn out and moved two things so far.  I don't think that to bad.

So ... here's a picture of my bunk with a coat of paint on it.  I haven't finished the top trim edge yet.


... and the galley with the insulation board in place.  The whole boat will be insulated with 1-1/2 polystyrene blue board.

Port side water tank finished

Well, not quite.  I still have to cut the hole and weld up the plate for the pipes.  But the tank itself is finished.
Started working on the dry stores schelves in the galley on the aft bulkhead.  No, sorry, no pictures yet.  But here are a couple of the water tank.
