I have Curtains!

I decided to tint my windows and add curtains.  I was going to do the tint myself, but decided to hire a professional.  The curtains I decided to make!



For reference, this is before tinting the windows.

















This is after.  Looks updated!

















This is during installation.  You can see the difference as he is working on the last pane.















Here are the curtains installed.



















It was tricky trying to figure out how to mount these.  I wanted to mount the "tracks" to the frame since the fiberglass is not that thick.





















For the top, I used a standard curtain track screwed into the window frame.














For the bottom, I fabricated a piece of flat aluminum bar and attached on either end of the frame.  The bottom of the curtain has to float, because the curtains are not parallel.













This is the backside of the curtain and shows the top slides and how the bottom of the curtain is attached to the lower aluminum bar.














Experimenting with my fish eye lens for my iphone.





















Today I added to faucets.  The one on the left is for fresh water and is operated by a foot pump that is barely visible below.  That one is operational. The faucet on the right is for seawater and will be operated by a Shurflo pump since there is no need to ration.  Still need to hook up the pump and connect to the thru hull valve that is just forward in the locker.  I am planning on tee-ing the feed off to provide for a washdown hose for the deck.







I finally cleared out the starboard aft berth and added bedding.



















My next major project is to put the vanity in the head and connect the water there as well.

Thats it for now!
