Auto parts sometimes come through; sometimes not.

Today, I wanted to finish wiring up something, so was gonna run to Autoparts, but that is half hour round trip. And then maybe. Amazon had it and will be here Wednesday. $4, free shipping for 4 of them...gas to town and back will cost me $2

I tend to call them and ask them to hold it at the desk. All the big boy stores will do that if you’ve set up an account online. I use Auto Quest, Advance, Napa and Car Quest. Buy car parts from them too b

Well, I left the boat tent when it hit 100 in there.

Today I installed the ventilation system for the battery box; save the power cord which I forgot to order. Damn controller has no power cable?

Anyhow, did that, and installed the Raymarine Axiom ducer and a cable gland.

Gonna paint the bottom of the port hull one more time. Sand the star hull floor and fair it a bit and then paint it two coats.

After I take a week off, gonna install the stairs and handles and finish the two small cabins.

Things are going well. Under 15 to dos on the wiring. Gonna work on the bathroom door soon.

Heat wave here.

No pictures, but my electrical work is functionally complete. Just need to meet the 18" support rule in a few places.

Then plumbing and drains. A couple of weeks off for summer vacation, and then all finish work only. A bathroom door, cabinet doors and a drawer and a medicine cabinet, some painting of decks and bottom and we will be ready for survey.
