Just On The Spur Of The Moment . . .

SHIP'S LOG:

     One of the projects I would like to get done come "the Spring," is two-fold: a.) move the water-maker which is currently ensconced partially above and below the only usable counter space in the galley to the locker in the stern formally occupied by the refrigeration unit and compressor and b.) because of some holes left by the water-maker in the galley counter space, do over the galley counter top with ceramic tiles.  I took the time to head out to Home Depot and Lowe's to check out 1.) how to do it; 2.) what would be needed; and  3.) what the project would cost. It is definitely not a "must-do-before-launch" project, so I wasn't terribly disappointed to find that it is a relatively not-difficult DIY project and would cost about 2 Marine Units. The down side is two-fold: I would have a fair amount of stuff left over after completion and I would be loathed to toss it, but would doubtfully have enough say to finish off another counter-top, say the one in the forward head,  and I don't have the spare @marine Units at the current time. So it will probably go down in the project book as a project to be done someday.

     I haven't heard from the new broker yet. If I don't hear by Monday, I'll give him a call. Squeaky wheel and all that.
