Work on the interior walls of the media room is progressing well.

​

Jeanne and I have been working on the HVAC and Electrical systems for the boat. When Jeanne is not helping me she has been cleaning the porthole frames and covers before we install them. 

 

One of the big electrical task was moving the isolation transformer from the utility room down to the equipment room. This was made difficult by the fact that the transformer weighs over 500 lbs.;so it took quite a bit of time to rig lifting chains and get the transformer moved. 

 

Lot of videos showing the work but the battery died before showing the transformer dropping into its final location.  The most interesting of the videos is the first one showing the transformer going from the utility room down to the equipment room.  The last three show our frustration with trying to position the lifting equipment (trolley track) just over the eight isolation bolts on which the transformer had to be installed.  Once we had the trolley track position correctly the transformer dropped right onto the bolts. 

​

Finally we had to prep the boat for hurricane Dorian since there was lots of loose stuff outside the boat. We wanted to protect the windows from the possible high winds, so we installed the storm boards for the first time.  Luckily we had no damage from Dorian but the Bahamas took a direct hit and have massive damage.
