A Week of Hard Work: Boat Restoration Progress

🔧We successfully installed a new steering system, making a huge difference in the boat's maneuverability.

🎨The kitchen renovation is finally complete, and it looks fantastic. It's a major achievement that brings us even closer to our goal.

👨‍🔬We encountered challenges, such as delayed engine parts and cleaning up water damage, but we found creative solutions to keep the project moving forward.

💡Our use of the inverter charger battery bank as a power source for welding proves to be a successful off-grid solution.
