Making a Plaster Mold

2500 Hours Working Time Completed

Today I worked on installation of a biological toilet.
As one can see, my biological toilet is quite simple. In principle it is just a hole in a box with an inserted plastic bucket. In the bucket a compostable plastic bag with cat litter is hung.

Shifting from Shipyard to Fitting-Out Berth

I decided to shift the boat from the the greenhouse-shipyard to a fitting-out berth. Unfortunately the fitting-out berth is only another hall in an industrial zone and not a port. Advantage: The new location is on my way from workplace to my home. This saves me about 40 minutes driving time.

The boat has been lashed to the trailer and is hauled out of the greenhouse

The roller shutter door must be lifted up to the last lamella

Aligning the trailer for coupling to the car

The path to the road is quite narrow

We sailed successful round the corner on the first attempt - without touching the greenhouse

Inserting Screw Ankers for Attaching the Cabin Hatch

This older photo from March shows the bold pattern for fixing the cabin hatch. The holes were drilled to 12 mm and filled with epoxy.

The screws were fastened to the hatch frame together with brass screw ankers. To avoid epoxy impurity on hatch frame or window I protected vulnerable areas with tape and plastic foil.

Detail: Screw with brass screw anker. To avoid that the screws stick with the screw anchors, I have lubricated them with vaseline.

The hatch with the fastened screw ankers has been set into the epoxy filled holes.
