Oh my gravy Susan and I are getting excited about this boat! I have pulled 3 miles of wire through the boat and Zach has begun to connect them to the DC panel and house batteries so that when we flip the switch the gosh darned things come on. Holy mackerel this is a huge milestone for us
.
Here's Zach at the panel working hard.



We chose to use an Imtra LED recessed fixture for the ceilings.

They look wicked sharp with the High Gloss white ceilings and I can't believe how much light they put out.
The other incredible thing is when I have all the overhead lights on at full power, (10 total - 2 in stateroom, 2 in head, 2 for galley, 4 for main salon) the amp draw is 8.6 Amps.



I also installed a white plastic sheet on the mechanical room ceiling after insulating the space with 2" foam. The strip over the seam is white PVC lattice from Lowe's and the sheets are a stock paneling from Lowe's as well.



Here's a view of the panel from the front.



The stairs have a few details which follow the principle of "No space goes to waste". Under the top step is the main power switch for the electrical system and to the left of that is a breaker for the future windlass and then we have the three bilge pump switches on the left.
The bottom 2 steps are hinged so that we can store items which are to be determined later and the whole stair system is hinged so that we can get to the mechanical room from the galley.




I've got more to show but right now I gotta go because it's time for Dinnah or maybe you call it Suppah.

Keep those comments coming,
