SV Kooky Dance: Estrogen projects

Estrogen projects

By

First Mate Tamera

Three small projects were finished this weekend....well one was a little more than small but really not huge.

Project one and two are in the same photograph below. The hanging fruit and vegetable holder was crooked and needed a little more space between the baskets. Before I go any further I just want to say thanks to Scott for the initial effort in making the F/V holder but it needed tweaked.

The second project was installing the wine glass holder (shown on the bottom section on the left side). Originally the glasses were setting on the top shelf and as you know space is at a premium on a boat and this was a real waste of space. So off we went on a shopping treasure hunt to find a small and narrow holder to hold only 4 wine glasses. At our local hardware store they have an RV section (not boating, yeah it puzzles me too)and we found a can holder that we simply used to hold wine glasses. Simple, cheap and effective. This freed up the top shelf for important cruising supplies like rum, wine and crown royal....you know only the essentials.

Second project - again I would like to thank Scott for helping out with this after all I told him I would install the water filter. My plan was to ask a friend of our who is a plumber to assist me with the installation but that fell through. So my dear sweet captain stepped in and basically did the installation. Don't think I did not help, who do you think held the light and snapped the great photo's below???

Our old way to get filtered water was with a Britta pitcher (seen below) and two re-purposed orange juice bottles. This worked OK but took up that very special counter top space.

First we had to find a suitable spot for the new filter, lets put it under the sink (the most reasonable spot) BUT the filter was too tall.....you can not stop Scott once he has the best solution. We will simply cut a hole in the shelf and make it fit. Brilliant....and it worked.
