But I'm finally able to upload a few photos of how things are going. I now have running hot and cold water flowing in the shower even though I'm not quite finished with the Fairing of the fiberglass joints. Next week I'm trekking across west Texas from home here in New Mexico to Possum Kingdom lake west of Dallas for a few days so I'll line some plastic over the joints in the shower so that I can put it to use.
Have any of yall sailed Possum Kingdom? I'd appreciate any input of the area both on and off water.
Shower panels screwed together after a layer of glass placed in-between the panels
After fiberglass (3 layers) beginning fairing of joint
Starting glass work on another joint.
Starting fairing of same joint.
Shower Floor, Note the coosa board to the right that the teakwood will sit on, the new coosa reinforcement for the area in front of the port-o-let that needed reinforcement after cutting the floor of head out, thats the only place I've got gelcoated in to date. (The little yellow arrow is pointing to a drainage hole in the coosa to allow free flow of any bilge water that may accumulate under my shower liner).
Trimmed and reassembled teak wood floor in place. I may have gained about a 1/4"
of headroom as the finished teak wood floor rests right on top of the ballast chamber, The floor simply lifts up to access the low profile bilge pump sitting on the shower liner material so that you can clean up the soap and stuff on the liner between trips.Soon I'll post photos of the water storage tanks, filtration system (the plan is to use lake water to shower in), pumps (3 pumps involved in taking a shower 1-pump lifting water from lake into storage tanks,2-pressure pump to water heater and cold supply to shower, 3-bilge pump pumping water out of shower floor liner back into lake.
Also the faucet I've created and the plumbing connecting everything.
