Just your typical week messing about in the front yard. The cold left some busted pipes to fix. Made some progress on the cabinets in the pilothouse. Added 112 gallons of antifreeze and Reverse Osmosis water to the coolant system. Reworked a heat exchanger. Had a wonderful bunch of folks show up to our Open House. And built a pair of airplane jacks to lift the boat.
