Oh man! I'm getting stuff done left and right. Some projects get started in the morning and need time to setup or dry before the next step which gives me time to tinker or start another area of the boat. Yesterday, I plugged away at filling holes and cracks on the main cabin bulkheads to prepare for paint and while that was setting up to dry I worked on electrical odds and ends. I'm almost done with electrical but there's always another project to add somewhere on the boat.
In the middle of the day I made a trip to ikea to buy my galley sink and accessories. I went with the Bredskar 24"x18" sink. They sell a variety of accessories that go with the sink to increase usability. That included some strainers, a wash bin, and a cutting board. I decided to maximize the available space with the biggest sink I could fit. I know counter space is at a premium, but I plan to offset the faucet and use a cutting board to cover most of the sink for food prep.

I took all the doors off to prep and paint the bulkheads. I was able to get a first coat on the galley and most of the helm station and nav table. I'm using an oil based high gloss white and will trim out with Brazilian cherry.
I finished the day by grouting the tile for the stove inset area. All I have left to do for the stove is to run fuel lines and figure out how to secure the stove to the side rails...I have a plan for that! You're supposed to screw down the stove from the front, but it's kind of an awkward setup, so I'll be making some minor mods to utilize pins through the rails and bottom of the stove.
