feel pretty nice so I like how they

install have already installed a couple

of them but I've got about a dozen more

to go so here's how you first thing I

just plunged through with a vibratory

[Music]

up a little cardboard out here so I'm

that bar and the thing up to that go

right go right through my punch

[Applause]

[Music]

Emma

Emma Emma okay I'm gonna go ahead and

just give it a little tap so I could

grab it just push it really slow perfect

hey who's in there okay

just leave it I did that so that dust

wouldn't get in the bed okay so here it

is

get it all cut out pretty simple

can see how this worked

it's pretty nice

now we have an opening for light okay

here's the next bit of waterproofing and

we're gonna do today we're calling for

about 10 days of rain straight so I'm

gonna put these four port lights in as

soon as Lynn gets home from work takes

two people

I tried by myself it's impossible so she

should be home in about 15 minutes

Suns just going down but we're gonna

bust these out get them in tonight kind

of have to let loose the weather

cooperated today hello are you ready

[Music]

you

so crisis averted we started with inch

and a quarter and then with the second

port light when we were installing it

the bullets were quite long enough so we

had to rush over to fisheries and grab

inch and a half so it's gonna rain

[Music]

you

that's one for today for today Wow yeah

I got the bottom

okay it looks good got it got tricky

getting these things on here

big day today we're gonna be flipping

the boat so I can start working on this

side get the port lights in do the glass

work and get paint on so the exciting

flip in the boat we're gonna do it

without engines I'm just recruiting

everybody in the marina and we'll get

her flipped around I'll be exciting so

many things to think about

you know we've got water going into the

boat we've got Internet going into the

boat

electricity Shore power we've got all

the lines so get everything staged and

ready everybody's going to show up here

and about an hour and a half and we'll

get it flipped around be exciting

[Music]

it has worked on this side I've already

done some repairs just leaning out over

the boat trying to get some glass work

done taking this port light out this one

out

this one out and this one out I'll stay

on the stripe fare all the nicks and

dings do any epoxy repairs I need to get

it painted get the new port lights in

all in about six days it's my last

weather window it looks like for a while

so I want to get it done I'll get

started first step is getting this old

port lights out

so much crazy compass sorry I'm making

some noise buddy

[Music]

pitched it okay now the port lights are

out here's my new template and to push

all these back as far as I can right

there

okay that's the first one they're all

marked out running out of time today

probably going to cut these first thing

in the morning

[Music]

now that the boats flipped I am getting

to work over here

I've already started this morning so the

first step as I laid out the newport

light over the top the old port light

put some protection down here so I'm not

dropping anything in the water and if I

do drop in the water I always keep a

little skim net here there it is right

there really used to intimidate me to

cut a hole in the boat now it's nothing

you get used to it

I mean I've cut thousands of holes in

this boat now and you just do it if you

make a mistake you fix it there we go

second one end

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

okay you ready for be ready here comes

the rain rains coming

wait-wait-wait-wait-wait oh those fly

things

going in come on down what are you

thinking any four months I know since

we've owned the boat you've never been

able to look outside I know in that

crazy I can't wait to see that be on the

other side really digging or Newport

lights can actually see through

morning Emma so we're we gonna do today

[Music]

lights in just in time winter has

officially arrived in Seattle they're

calling for five inches of rain in five
