Pensacola FL Sailing Blog - sailingnightwatch

Yes, I was gone, but not sailing. Family wedding in St Louis. So let me continue with my blog.The galley was in pretty bad shape. There was a large space where a Norcold upright frig was meant to stand. There was also a large hole where the stove was to be. The paneling behind the stove was in need of replacement as well as the aft bulkhead. The counter tops were gouged, burned and dented. On top of that was an accumulation of 15 years of dirt and grease.While in the yard we took delivery of the frig and stove which took up space in the saloon. I replaced the paneling behind the stove. On the shelf over the cabinets I built an shelf for a microwave. Removed and replaced all the laminate. Beefed up the counter where the stove gimbals were attached. Rewired and install new ac and dc plugs for the refrigerator. The sink was of a size that my wife loved and we could not find a replacement, therefore it got a major cleaning. The size is such that we can totally immerse a large iron skillet for scrubbing. We also replaced the faucets on all three sinks. The plumbing had been completed in the yard with the exception of final hookups. Electrically, we replaced 2 light, 5 ac sockets and an exhaust fan. Which had been stolen.
