Honey-Do List! Linh's 7 Day Challenge! Onboard Lifestyle ep.40

[@jim28fl]

Why does this feel like an intervention. AHH HA HA.... what a REAL LIFE moment, so glad you choose to share it with us. We love following along with you all on your dream. Its a reality!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks for watching!

[@crabuki1273]

Using a honey-do list to create channel content. That's just masterful multi-tasking right there.

[@msnpassjan2004]

@5:45 LOL "But I'll get to it later", tomorrow is sometimes the best day of the week.

[@edrosenberger6947]

I'm amazed at how nonshalont Teal is with each project he tackles. He seems to know the best way to handle a project by just glancing at it and then BANG....he is finished. He's done and I'm still analyzing what needs to be done! Sniff. By the way Teal, I have a similar problem as you.....a new more exciting project tears me away from finishing that last bit I was working on.....

[@OnboardLifestyle]

That is all done in editing Ed, Sure it looks easy but I lay awake nights planning out projects months in advance...thanks for watching.

That post-it method is very efficient and let you keep track of the accomplished tasks. I'm no electrician but maybe it will be wiser to install an explosion proof outlet close to the cooking gas cylinder and a weather proof outlet cover that allows to have the cord plug and the lid closedown. Excellent KZbin channel.

Teal, I am an industrial designer and in my projects I am accustomed to work with engineers and craftsmen, I know the ergonomic challenge of a project and the possibilities of applying in execution, allow me to say that your catamaran general project is impeccably structured, I am amazed by the level of the details you have been thinking about, and I greatly appreciate the flexible solutions that you have personally executed. Your family is wonderful and I hope to follow your posts for many years to come! I'm not a native English speaker, I'm from Europe,Romania, Transylvania county and I appreciate that all your posts are subtitled. Greet Emma and Linn on my part ! I wish you success in all your projects !

Thank you! We work well as a team and are always trying to find the fun in these neverending projects. Cheers to you!

[@sidneyking11]

I have to agree with a lot of the other post. Teal, you are a talented craftmen that is very good at the fine details. I enjoy how you make it look easy because I know its not even though i'm not a craftmen. I look forward when the time comes that you take your boat out on a adventure. Ladies, I can appricate the challenge you gave Teal. Sometimes we need a little push now and again. Thanks everyone for the entertaining videos!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

I am so glad they did that as well. I have been looking at those post-it notes daily and it is so easy to just move to the next project...a little push is all I needed.

[@linhgobenyt]

Thanks Sail Oria! That means a lot to us. We buy most items from Fisheries Supply and Defender. We try to purchase items that are easy to find and replace. Special order usually means hard to find once we set sail so every purchase is researched before we buy. Cheers to your project!

A little oil on your drill tip helps you save your drill from wearing out too soon. Just make sure you don't overheat it, as you loose hardening and it destroys itself faster. The microwave oven hoist was clever.

We built our house and it is about 95% complete how ever I have taken a little break with some small projects like yours to complete and she is always asking for me to complete them. I have good intentions to finish them but I guess that I need to be challenged like you have challenged your husband...Very sneaky however effective. Thank you for the video I've just got into the sailboat videos and am loving them and your boat is one of the best looking ones that I've seen and you did it all yourselves I'm sure you are so preou of it. Oh well I'm a bit long winded bit I enjoy your videos and will see you the next time.

[@bobrose7900]

Fantastic! Clean, methodical working, after my own heart. Your multi-hull looks terrific. One thing, I noticed the steps with no apparent non slip panels or finish - does this cause a problem with wet feet? You've probably got it covered but I bounced down a flight of thirteen steps with bare wet feet! Superbly presented video and not a word or comment out of place.... how do you do it! Oh, and wisdom teeth are painful - we all felt for you...

Good eye Bob, you are correct, we do not have our final nonskid topcoat on. That will happen early next year when we haul the boat for all of the final painting.

[@mikea1893]

Tael love the show, I live just up the road from you in Renton , Just one thing the power box you installed out side in the cabinet . I know it's your boat but I have found on mine when you cut in to wood that is sealed if you won't to keep the wood from rotting you should seal the edges with song epoxy to keep the moshter out. nice job getting the hunny do list nocked out.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

You are correct Mike, I will be honest, I was a bit rushed to finish the video and did not sleep well until I pulled the box and sealed the edge along with the mortise in the countertop with West System epoxy. That happened the next day off camera.

This was so funny! Love the work you do and your family. But, I laughed so hard when you pulled the sticky note for the quick release pin and said this is easy! Then after ruining drill bits and a trip to the hardware store for a new drill bit and then a trip to the dentist to get your wife - then it was finished. That is exactly my life! Glad to see someone else doing 'easy' projects like that!

I was lucky enough to find a complete set of cobalt drill bits for about $60. Anytime I have to drill a screw out or drill stainless or hardened steel, I go to the cobalts. Have not broken any of them yet and love them. Was thinking cobalt as soon as I saw you start drilling that hunk of stainless. 10 seconds later, you were off to the store! LOL

[@tracksidebc5854]

Hi guys, really enjoy watching your family life onboard and all the projects and progress on refitting the boat. Am a former liveaboard in Toronto now retired in Vancouver BC area. Teal certainly has developed some talents along the way. Just watched the latest episode and think you might be wise to put GFI (ground fault) outlets in both the head and the cockpit and maybe even the galley, anywhere where water may be. Better to be safe than shocked! Keep up the great vlogs and I look forward to many more.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

I am taking everyone's advice and adding GFCI outlets onboard SV basik in the four areas where the outlets are near water sources. I thought that by making my own isolated circuit with a dedicated breaker would be sufficient but it does not hurt to just add the GFCI outlets for added protection. Thanks for the input

[@scottbrown654]

I’ll preface this comment with the fact that I know nothing about ship building standards or codes. I noticed that your 120 volt electrical box’s are all open back or low volt box’s. Residential code says that you must use fully enclosed box’s (again, 120 volt) to contain fire from short circuit if a connector comes loose, ect. Is it different for marine applications?

Hello Teal and Linh and Emma of the Past. The Mahogany wood looked beautiful where you cut the hole for that electrical outlet.

In fact, more than help with household crap I would love to build a boat with you.

I love the work you do. The only concern I have is the electrical outlet you mounted outside in the locker with the propane bottle. It could be a fire hazard if the propane vents while plugging or unplugging anything, I have know idea on marine regulations regarding propane and electrical.

[@pearadisevlogs7467]

Thought on the bathroom counter latch... from my wife Liz. She suggests flush mounting rare earth magnets in the counter and wall to hold up the counter top for loo access. Thoughts?

[@OnboardLifestyle]

I played around with magnets a bit and realized that to get them to work I would have to mount them to a stand-off to hold the door or counter in the correct position. They worked fine but I could not get them to hold when I mounted a rubber bumper over them. The bumpers are a must when you have a door that is opened and closed 20 times a day. I will be honest and say that I thought the same thing when I surface mounted the first catch on our upper head 5 years ago. We use it every day and not once has it been an issue. Thanks for the comment.

I think by reducing the stop on the head counter latch you could reverse the catch so that it is down in the counter instead of sticking up where it is a hazard.

[@chuckg7311]

Please don’t take this the wrong way but a good alternative to the catch would be a flat chrome steel piece on counter and two 3/4 super magnets on the wall. More than strong enough to hold up the counter during “business.”

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Onboard Lifestyle I might find rubber foam, but I concede that for some reason magnetism is particularly subject to reduction around rubber. You considered it and had good reason to reject it.

115 VAC outlets next to sinks in heads, galley, and outside in the cockpit. Ground fault interruption protection is needed. On boats things fall over, even on catamarans. In the cockpit also, even though the outlet isn't likely to get wet things plugged into it WILL. Cockpits get rained on, the deck gets wet. Now days GFC protection is inexpensive but saves lives. Install them and test them periodically. There are references to it in earlier comments but no reply on the subject from you.

@@OnboardLifestyle Glad to here it Teal, you're doing a fantastic job. To my admittedly limited understanding a standard circuit breaker only provides basic over current protection, i.e. your "whatever is plugged in" draws an excessive amount of current, not where that current is going. GFCI senses when there is an imbalance between the currents in the hot and return wires of the circuit i.e. current conducted on the ground connection or through YOU to somewhere else, and trips an internal circuit breaker. Consulting a licensed (marine?) electrician on circuit design, and inspection can keep everyone safe also. I am not an expert in this area. (INALE?)

I am taking everyone's advice and adding GFCI outlets onboard SV basik in the four areas where the outlets are near water sources. I thought that by making my own isolated circuit with a dedicated breaker would be sufficient but it does not hurt to just add the GFCI outlets for added protection. Thanks for the input
