+A new shelf in the bottom of the pots and pans locker!
A persistant leak in the deck fill for the water tank eventually rotted out the wood shelf in the pot/pan locker. When we bought the boat, we were frustrated by the constant moisture so started searching for the source. Turns out the fill hose had simply slipped off the deck fill. And the deck fill fitting needed to be rebedded. Once we found and fixed the leaks, it was time to replace the shelf. A little help, a little hammer, a little chisel, and, voila - the old shelf was out and it was time to figure out the new one.

As the old saying goes, "at some point in the life of every project, it's necessary to shoot the engineers and start the project." Once started, it was actually pretty straightforward to come up with something we think will meet our needs.
Cutting and making the new shelf in pieces, then test-fitting everything, priming and painting.

Of course, getting everything installed upside down while laying on the counter - lots of fun!!

But now the locker is ready to go and another project is checked off the list.
