August 30, 2007 Today, I worked on the electrical all day, save for the usual sanding and coats of varnish on the woodworking projects currently underway. Of course I applied the varnish at the very end of the day. With this, I thought that there was enough buildup of the gloss varnish on the cabin sole, so the next coat will be the topcoat of satin varnish. |

I ran an additional pair of wires to the mast area for spreader lights, and then began running the wiring to the various fixtures on the starboard side: more lighting, two fans, fresh water pump, and galley sink sump pump, as well as to another 12-volt outlet that I planned to install in the sink module. Preparing for the wire runs took much of the morning, with the need to drill a number of holes through cabinetry and install the appropriate cable clamps and supports through which to run the wires.. |

Unfortunately, in some areas it just isn't possible to completely hide the wires to certain fixtures. In these areas, I tried to keep the wiring as neat and orderly as possible to minimize its visual burden. These are in the hanging locker forward. |

This sort of progress is significant, yet not particularly noteworthy from a photographic or journalistic standpoint. I neared the end of my new supply of wire, however, and ordered more to be delivered first thing next week, after the holiday. Meantime, there's enough wire for a few more fixtures, after which there are plenty of related wiring tasks I can turn to while awaiting the new supply of wire. |
