hey guys welcome back to SBB sick

I was a little spire today after I got

done doing school work with Emma because

I noticed that teal had snuck off to see

his girlfriend also known as the marine

store yeah and I know he's picking up

some more supplies or picking up another

project to do on the boat but it got me

thinking teal is really good at what he

does but he has a condition and this is

a condition I think that a lot of you

guys out there have it's called not

quite finishing your job and yeah

and he does about 99% of his project and

then he moves on to the next one so

drives me crazy-i and this I have

decided that I'm gonna do a seven-day

challenge and I'm gonna put it on the

board because it drives me crazy and

look around and things are almost done

but not quite so Emma I need your help

okay I'm gonna put this here and so

Sabbat my 11 year old can do this and I

can't alright so looking at the board I

know that a lot of things we have here

so he can do it so there's really no

excuse and let's see what do you think

the first one he should do oh I know

master head outlet he needs to move that

for safety reasons we have all the

supplies so let's put that on there huh

stove up and lock down I've wanted that

for a while yeah while we're at it let's

do the hatch springs for the pantry door

isn't there a cockpit lighting somewhere

here ooh but we're still on galley oh no

this one is the catch for the countertop

for the master head I know I bought that

when he started that project

Christmas lights yeah since it's

Christmas I want some Christmas lights

up what else

see ha ha

this one I bought years ago this is the

toilet paper holder for the master head

put that on there put that on there what

else here's another one this one was my

birthday present from last year

quick release pins yeah that goes on

there what else oh here's another Gally

one seal that countertop edge so I don't

worry about water going behind there

that's how many do we have so far 8 8 do

you think that's enough or should we put

more on there um I think that's enough

you sure yeah if not we can always add

dill ah don't worry ok so now the next

challenge is we're gonna go find all

those parts so he doesn't have an excuse

not to complete it ok what do you think

yeah all right

high five we said a besito camera ok

Till's almost home

another project another project yeah I

thought we were going to discuss a

little is the next project well this is

bound the board forever let me see what

is it that's right here it is right okay

what'd you do so what are you saying

we're saying that you have the condition

and this is a voice I feel like an

intervention you gotta finish these

things before you move on to the next

one

seriously it's not gonna take you that

long let's hide you good day yeah one

project a day okay hold on let me look

at this oh it's not that bad and Emma

says she'll help I will help too

okay I can do it I could do it so

challenge accepted

in seven days it's a busy week okay I'll

do it day one stirs oh you got a camera

yep - sneaky what might do with you okay

okay lens right

maybe I do have a little bit of a

problem but in my defense you know as

you're going through these projects and

let's look at this Gallic for instance

she has let's see one two items on her

little seven-day challenge in the galley

you know to build this Kelly there was I

don't know thousands of items to do and

I've got it down to two well actually

there's three she'd forgot to mention

the missing cabinet door but I'll get to

that later now that I mentioned that

she's gonna want it okay so that attack

these first two items I'm going to do

them together because I needed to seal

this back counter edge I need to take

the stove out to put the lock down on

the stove I need to take the stove out

so it's natural for me to do these two

together first and that's what I'll do

today that'll be day one what happened

was this lockdown I could have made this

cabinet a little bit deeper and this

stove oven would have slid further back

and I could have just drilled a hole

into the side of the cabinet for the

lockdown but as I plumbed it with the

propane leads I wanted more clearance on

the back side of this and I just didn't

want any lines

rubbing on the wall so I brought it out

a little bit further than I that I could

to use these lock downs so I need to get

a look creative today not a problem

just needs to be done huh so let's get

started first thing I need to do is just

clean all this out get the microwave

flushed down to the deck a lot of people

have been asking how this mechanism

works oh this is a good chance for me to

show you how I built it I know that

looks pretty pretty cool and fully

automated but it's really not it's a

mechanical device I came up with but

look how it flushes it out right on the

countertop gets it out of the way if you

want more countertop and it just comes

right back up when you do need it it's

actually a pretty simple device let me

show you how I built it

it all fits in our laundry cabinet here

I built a box and just put two gas

struts on it calculating where these

struts had to go was the hardest part

then I use for full extension drawer

guides mount it to the box and mount it

on spacers I had to calculate the depth

to get it correctly so now it's just a

matter of it it's in that full upright

position now and these gas struts hold

it up in the full upright position but

when it comes down I calculated out

where these gas trusts need to be so it

actually has a positive hold down when

it gets to the lower position let me

show you how that works and now that

it's in the down position and is locked

into the down position it just takes a

little bit of force probably five pounds

of upward force and then it gets going

all by itself and puts it back in the up

position no magic just a little

engineering okay first thing I'll do is

just get everything off the counters and

get this stove pulled out of here

before I pull the stove out I want to

get a center mark on the stops

I should do it let's pull this

I was looking for those no the stoves

out I could prep this whole back area

I needed it out to get this little piece

out I'm gonna leave that loose and not

seal it that is my spacer behind the

stove and if I ever have grease or

anything on there and we're able to take

it out and clean behind it but I need to

get this nice and clean and there's a

little bit of dust

[Music]

there we go

the only thing I need for this first

little project is a little masking tape

and silicone ooh maybe a couple napkins

that's about it

let me tape it up and get this in there

boy it's be nice to get this one done

it's been years we've been just being so

cautious not to get any moisture back

here but I'll be nice to get this done

he'd be back get out of here okay

everything's taped off now it's just a

matter of putting a nice bead put a lot

of pressure into it so it gets down in

there when I put the counters down I did

seal the counters down so if any

moisture did get in it would only travel

around about a quarter-inch and it's

been dry so it's time to seal it up

there we go

let this set up for a minute or two then

I'm going to pull the tape get a nice

clean finish that way

just get a nice clean pull going and

make sure you have a place to put this

because this silicone all of this tape

can make a mess it's good need to be

doing this little blustery outside tons

of rain off and on squalls it's blowing

out there probably 20 to the 30s today

but we're nice and toasty inside here

getting some projects done let's see how

this turned out

looks good the counter is sealed let's

take a look at this stove

here's my gas in inlet right here and I

put his lowest profile fitting on here

to turn this but it was this clearance

right here is why I had to put this

extra lip here which pushed the whole

stove out which it's gonna make it a

little more difficult to put my stops on

let's take a look at this gas lead yes I

could carve out into the bulkhead here

but this is a structural bulkhead I

didn't want to do too much I already got

one hole here to get my gas

tight-fitting through there so next

option is just accommodate this little

inconvenience here not too bad there's

actually two little projects here

putting this hit here the stop and I put

these little PVC skids on here and I did

this for a couple reasons I did it to

elevate the stove up just a little bit

higher on the counter I wanted to get it

up so the heat would come up over the

the top but more importantly is when you

set the stove on here sliding it in and

out it would just scar this paint by

putting in a PVC skin on here it

eliminates that but they're loose so now

that I know the system works I want to

connect those down first it's not gonna

take much just a couple little set

screws on this just to keep it from

sliding around

okay here's my dilemma the pin bisects

the edge of this counter so I need to

come up with a way to stop it out here

and I have these little straps so what

I'm gonna do is elevate this out here

with a few stainless washers bore out my

hole and the stainless should look nice

out here and it'll work real well it's

gonna tie right into this corner it'll

be very strong so you need to just

calculate how far out to space it and

mortise my home these little stainless

straps you know when you go to the

Marine store or a hardware store and

they put the sticker on and you peel the

sticker off and it leaves that I mean it

is just Slough this just a sticky mess

here's my little tip of the day never

dull this stuff is amazing I've been

using this same little piece of wadding

compound for I don't know a few years on

these little sticky pieces just rub it

on

and it's gone

look at this gone that fast

next thing I need to do is just

calculate my mortar size

that's exactly 3/8 I want to slightly

oversize it so I will go probably 5/16

now just clean up my mortise of it now I

hope Prime and paint it

next thing I do

put my little plate over this line it up

and mark it out

last thing I do is stack up a few

washers on the backside of this I'm

going to start with two and test fit and

see how it does if I need to space it

out further I just stack one more washer

on skids are in seal back here my new

stops are in let's see how this fits

counter seal oven is secure

looks like I get to let's see move this

to here and that's over

you left I'll get it

well take a little time left today let's

see what else I could knock out this one

this one's easy the salon table quick

release pins and that's when I built the

table leaf extension this bracket here

only

I need a low profile bracket and it only

came with this screw in retainer so I'm

gonna back that out and bore it and put

a quick-release system on just so when

we're adding this table leaf it goes a

lot quicker yeah there's one the other

one I need to remove is right here

this one should go pretty quick all I

need to do is back the setscrew out and

bore it to fit my new a quick release

pin sounds simple we'll see the hardest

part about this will probably holding

this little thing without scratching it

so I'm just gonna mount it to something

so I can get a better grip on

well I thought it would be easy to blur

that out I went through all my bits

well Plan B I just ran down pick myself

up the right drill bit a nice new cobalt

bit so this should do the trick

along with cutting oil it is so nice

having the right bit went through this

like butter just took it nice and slow

with cutting oil look at this

it's in perfect I like it so Lin is

having oral surgery

right now she should be out in about ten

minutes I'm gonna head on over there and

get her back to the boat so she'll be

laid up for the rest of day maybe

tomorrow we'll see ouch no fun wisdom

teeth X I don't have to travel very far

there she is right now in that window I

can see her so let's just down to the

end of the dock anything alright hope

she's doing okay thank you

let's get you back to the boat

Gail my pieces are bored out let's get

it all put back together sorry Lynn I'm

gonna make some noise want to give a

quick test on this and then move on to

another project in another room let

let's sleep at this off let's see how

this new quick-release system works

that's pretty good

thank you Ben

well I would say that was a success much

easier so let's knock that one off there

we go

just a few left oh boy there's quite a

bit

let's start working on this the master

head I can do these two right now that

way I could work down here okay next

item isn't the master head oh yeah

close the door keep it quiet and there

they are she's already set it up for me

she wants this installed there's another

catch and so it's designed so when the

counter tilts up it locks it out of the

way so you have access to the head I

need to install that first is the next

item is right here in this box that is

our twelve-year holder which we mounted

right there

so be nice to have the counter up out of

the way while I'm working on the teepee

holder so I'll do that first trick to

mounting this this is the easy part

this is the hard part because what I

have to do is more to sit in to the

counter and figure out where I need this

so let's start with that first thing I

did was just put a little piece of tape

right here pin on the wall I measure the

distance and found my Center mark now I

could fold this up and transfer the

center mark to the counter

take my little bracket center down there

now just trace this out and more to sit

in I'm gonna start with a razor and then

just finish up with a nice sharp chisel

okay I've scored this thing nicely now

just delicately take this little piece

out he is not deflate the entire counter

ah and there we go

it's perfect now it's just a matter of

rocking the door up and placing this in

the position where it locks in and

marking the wall out those be my first

two holes then I'll drill the third now

that the counter is done brings me to

the next little project

this is our first holders one in a great

consignment store a couple years ago and

installed it in the upper head and

absolutely loved it it's perfect

it was black though and that's the color

we wanted so we go to try to buy another

one turns out that was a special order

item and we couldn't find it we've been

looking for years trying to find a black

replacement for the head down here so

both total paper holders match well we

ended up actually emailing the

manufacturer and they said yeah we

happen to have a few toes in the

warehouse and they sold it to us

there we go exactly and then we have

upstairs you know how I hate miss

matching items so you have the counters

out of the way I can take my flange

place it on the wall retro on it just

trace it out

since this cabinet core is so thick it's

thicker than my blade what I end up

doing is cutting it twice now remove

this little piece here around here that

I could plunge my blade the rest away

through

[Music]

okay let's see if the sigfigs

say it's not perfect a couple of set

screws yeah it's two more projects down

total paper holders in counter latch in

let's knock those off the board while

the ladies are doing a little school

work over here that's school work

I'm gonna get on to the next item on

Lynn's little challenge and that's

putting these hatch springs on I put

these on other cabinet doors and what

they do is they keep the door like in

this case this one opens up opens down I

couldn't open it up because then it's

too hard to look around and into the

cabinet so I open it down but what

happens is it just free falls down and

it see it hits down here I don't want

this wearing here and if we store

anything on the ground here like a box

it falls down and could dent the cabinet

door so I'm going to mount these springs

here on it'll hold it in a horizontal

position right there easy to get to and

then easy to close so that's my next

item first thing I need to do is just

space this up the right distance so it

holds the cabinet door 90 degrees from

the cabinet phase and holds these in the

same plane that'll be pretty easy this

go quick now it's just a matter of

marking it out and mounting it

[Music]

well that was a quick easy when let's

see how these work now nice on to the

next project

I'm on the home stretch looks like all I

have left is electrical it's still a

little blustery outside so let's do this

one next that's down on the master head

I'd like to do is move this outlet into

this position

sounds easy first thing I want to do is

kill the power

and there we go now just remove these

base plates and start digging these

boxes out yeah well just a matter of

fishing it over to the other box see if

I can do this without getting a message

that was an easy one

one more electrical item and I am done

let's peel this one off the board well I

got ugly to get out there

it's coming down

okay I've been putting this off

because it's been just miserable out

everything's soaking wet but look at

this the sun's peeking out it's my

window so here's the last item on her

little seven-day challenge it's putting

an exterior outlet out here I don't want

to mount it out here in the weather I'm

actually going to tuck it inside of a

locker this locker

Ivan built the door yet but it's coming

I still want to mount it inside here it

always stays dry here water never gets

in this far but I'm still putting it in

a waterproof box that way we can open

the cabinet door plug in or maybe I'll

put a little knock in the corner of the

cabinet door I'm not sure yet we'll get

that figured out later but let's get

going on this while I can't because that

looks beautiful

my wire lead has to come in through this

cabinet actually it'll come down here I

want to plunge through here into that

other cabinet so this is where I'll

drill I'll drill a hole straight through

it'll mark it from either side and then

I'm bored out to one inch so I can put a

grommet on it

[Music]

there's where my mark came through gonna

mount the box right about there

[Music]

he does not much wood on this boat just

a few of these structural bulkheads but

it's nice to cut into it and see that it

is marine grade this is mahogany with a

nice thick layer of epoxy on it that's

on all the interior so and look at I

mean it looks like the date was put in

okay it's nice now couple set screws on

I'm going to tap off this outlet right

here it's only about a three foot run to

that other one and I do have a dedicated

line because this was near a sink

[Music]

okay ready I'm yep I'm gonna stuff this

down through here you can't see it yet

okay keep pulling then pull straight

down on it look at my lead is now in

place it's all has nylon ties securing

it and I'm ready to make the final

connections okay back outside weather

still holding I'm liking it

here's our lead coming out our weather

tight box just make these final

connections and we will have an exterior

outlay

[Music]

and there we go right there get the

security and we'll have a functioning

outlet

all right so the seven-day challenge

teal got done in three days which means

I think that I underestimated him next

challenge is going to be a lot longer

and don't think that that Galway door is

not all going to be on that list buddy
