For the love of Denmark

Hello, and happy November!

The thought of building out the boat over winter didn’t excite me to start with, but there’s something wholesome about working when it’s dark, lit by lamps and nothing much happening outside in the cold.

Speaking of, on Monday evening I re-did the bedroom lights, as the “wired to never fail” was bugging me. I added snap-on connectors instead of the solder joints, and some slack in the wires so you can pull them out if the LEDs fail.

Then, Denmark! A few days to celebrate my grandmother’s and mother’s birthday, with spades of cheese, rundstykker, wine and good company.

Back last night, and this morning I continued with plumbing, bending pipes to go up-and-over the bathroom for the shower, before starting on the ceiling. And pipe bending bloody hell, that takes it out of you, especially when you’re trying to be fancy across 3 dimensions.

I could have used plastic pipe, but… that has worse vibes for drinking, and something about copper + health benefits and algae resistance. But before I can cover it all up, it needs pressure-testing. That means connecting the electronics, finding some 12V power and finishing the water tank sealant.

Until next Sunday!
