Garrett, for a man who just beat a boat out of wood, your engineering skills are great, but your tool use skill set...Buddy, wow. More think, less effort.. Love ya both...

Sign of a good captain....... knowing when and how to delegate. Cute to hear Ruths voice change when she talks of being in charge of the interior. 🤣. Fun to see things coming together.

I love "how to channels"....how to sail, how to navigate etc, and so I have become addicted to "how to sail oceans". Its a channel about this guy sailing the world in his gaff rigged cutter, no engine. I believe you two would love it

Silly comment but "You're coming too" in the intro just makes me feel good.

One of my favorites is Al from Lumnah Acres, ‘Good morning, modern steaders’

When she says "...your coming too!" I get the willies...

Ruth, Garret May be the Captain but you will always be the Admiral. ( If he’s smart ). Good job guys.

It’s so cool seeing what you and Ruth are doing! I’d live that life!

It will be nice to step the mizzen. Running water will be nice to have also.

Great Vid (as always). Bilge pumps..... Do a step system with two of your bilge pumps (one higher than the other). Put an audio and visual alarm on the highest pump. Should the alarms go off.... You will then know you have a SERIOUS problem. Reduces the worry. Keep up the awesome work. "Docktails anyone?"

Now that you have a bucket of Tar boxed in, you just have to add a bucket of salt and you get the perfect gimmick

5 years without running water ? You two kids are real tough cookies ! Especially in that HOT So.Cal. climate !! Ruthy, poor lil' thing ! A huge step that is for any girl.😘

Napa CA. where I pretty sure their in, is hot this time of year but not in Southern California. I was deckhand out of Berkeley CA. before coming North to the Lower Columbia river, "Astoria OR." They are in a good place for Sailing! Garrett & Ruth will be able to have good winds every afternoon cutting up the Suisun Bay!

Although I’am new to this channel, only following for a few weeks, I like the way you build in a “old fashioned” but strong way. This ship will out live you and will be as beautifull then as it’s now. Can’t wait to see it sailing

what a treat - running water after years! Looking forward to seeing it! :)

Surprise! Garret is supposed to be the captain? Never underestimate his lovely wifes natural given authority

You can never have "enough" seizing Garrett! I speak from experience, Good job!

I hope you're planning on varnish for the overhead in the salon! That's some pretty wood.

You two are just great... Tan sails will set the whole rig like a perfect picture... She will be beautiful...

So the gallon of entrapped tar is just ballast now? That would just drive me senseless! 😂

Really great music on this episode. Nice

Excessive " enough is good, more is better, to much is just enough!"

lots of progress !

Very nice craftsmanship you 2.

Great to see all the systems come together. She is starting to look like a home inside as the finishing steps bring forth the vision you all have carried these last 5 years . The process you are going through is a familiar one as I built a 36 foot sloop in the mid 1980s You might want to consider putting a carbon filter inline with the stainless strainer . It will let fine sediments pass into your fresh water system . An RV filter would would work well for this and are widely available at reasonable cost. We use one on our RV to filter any water we take on board. While you are cruising there is no doubt that sometimes your water source will be less than Ideal .

Nothing exceeds like excess.

Just love the trip you have given us all and look forward to seeing more of your home come together ,Great Vlog as always guys.

I would suggest that you number or otherwise label your wires at both ends. When you have to diagnose a problem all black wires look alike!

Running water. PFTTTT. Looking goooood guys. I love my Thursday morning coffee with Salt and Tar.

Nice color scheme, gray and white! Reminds me of my days in the Coast Guard! JIM

You can never have too much bilge pumping power no matter what your boat is made of if you hit something like a partly submerged shipping container etc you will have a big leak.A least with a wood boat on any beach an axe some nails a bit of drift wood and a strip of old blanket you can make a repair and be on your way.

Thanks for making videos

Ahhhhh, the ncethings of life, running water, electricity, propane! Getting close to shoving off! Nice work!!

Your intro still gives me goosebumps. Wondering how far off Garret is from showing up shaved with a 💇‍♂️?! Besides electricity, running water is LIFE!! She’s REALLY starting to look like she’s ready to raise some sails! So is Redeviva. 🥳

Nice video. Better outside the fresh water tank instead inside. I had an older tractor with a diesel tank that all seem to make banking sounds. One winter will the tractor was in the shop, the tank was removed and we found a can of paint sealer in the tank after we cut an inspect/clean out hole in the top of the tank. The can had probably been the tank for 20 years or so just floating around.

I more into building cabin, a boat is to much for me, you are by far my favorite vlog. Each time i feal lazy, i watch you guys and remember that you can achieve a great dream if you put the work. Also, your love and team spirit is amazing.

That tin of tar is still good, looks like there's plenty of room to pop the lid off and stick a brush in just leave it there for emergencies.

Now all you need is to encapsulate a gallon of Salt and you will be ready for blue water!

The glimpse of the interior is looking great. No regrets there.... As for the tar tin, scoop it out into another tin, then squash the old tin to get it out 😉

I know nothing about boats, but enjoy watching these videos. I agree with Garrett about having lots of bilge pumping capacity. One question I do have is, with all the pumps, whats to stop water short circuiting the batteries or something else and negate the pumps? I'm sure you will have a manual pump of some kind, but would that keep up with it. I would think Ruth would be the one having to operate it as Garrett being the on board mechanic would probably be busy assessing and repairing the leak.

I really like the popcorn color paint in the cabin. The boat is looking great.

Staysail and mizzen in heavy weather is the great advantage of your rig. Getting the main with its gaff and boom down and secured is a great feeling in a blow. Another great video. Thank you both.

Nice thing about a gaff rig is in a sudden blow you can "scandalize" the gaffs to half your sail area!

Hi, If you want to counter a massive leak, instead of overkilling with bilge pumps and batteries, you could just add a second hose to the raw water intake of your engine (with a 3 ways valve) that goes into your bilge. In case of leak, you just have to switch that valve to the bilge intake. Even at idle rpm, the suction from your engine will probably exced that of all your pumps combined. Furthermore, to run all your pumps at once, you'll surely have to run your engine to compensate the power draw on your batteries, so... Besides, it's also very useful when you want to rinse your engine with fresh water from a tap. People often forget that the best pump onboard is the good old diesel engine.

Absolutely love you guys! Great videos that inform and entertain... well done! Do ya'll have a date set yet for when you're going to start the sailing part of your adventure?

So good to see everything coming together, can't wait to see the paint job and what you do with it and the mizzen finally erected. Stay Safe and I look forward to next weeks edition.

Best 'tiny home' build on KZread.

Hey Garret you should look into aviation safety wire pliers, they will make terminating (twisted wire) really nice looking and functional. I have an idea for your forward and aft bulk heads mural a desert scene so you appreciate being on the water. Trapped Tar! All you need now is Salt! How funny! 😁🛫

I thought you'd taken up playing the trumpet for a moment there :D

I like you guys.

Ребята, вы такие молодци. Рад за вас. Удачи в дальнейшем.

Make sure you put any filters AFTER the shut off in case the filter freezes and swamps you!

Getting closer!! Great video. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺 🍷🍷🌹❤️

Please stay safe guys . I hope you are sailing and on the water away from the corona virus !

Finally the jump to 1080p! Don't think it didn't go unnoticed!

What you need is a back up pump I work as a Mason and were always having to pump out the holes that are house basement size and up to 4 to 8 ft deep we got a gasoline engine witch is a 3.5 horse power Briggs & Stratton engine that has like a three and a half inch Inlet then three and a half inch Outlet hose it will prompt a four foot deep basement size hole out in no time , cause you never know when the electric will go out with the water pouring In

Great job!!! At 5:40 if you will sand the blocks that make the mizzen mast shroud and paint it will look fantastic.

Use Vaseline on the wire connectors to stop corrosion.

A COVID-19 Benefit,being home, and watching this fascinating series!!

Big steps being taken. How I wish I was there to help but Aussie is a bit to far for my commute. Please let me know when you're sailing past the Western part of Aussie. I make a really good home brew, even ladies like it. (even my ex liked it so that's saying something!!!)

You say excessive, I say thorough!

Like your videos. Do not know if this will help, but our "new" 10-year-old boat came with an ACR. The way that it was wired and worked is that it would charge the engine battery first and then it paralleled the engine and house batteries and charged them together. The way we use our boat is that we like to anchor out so our house battery bank gets more use (abuse) than our engine battery. Our only way to charge the house bank when away from shore is to run the engine. I rewired the output of the alternator so that it now charges the house battery bank first (which is 4 times the size of the engine battery) so that we can maximize the energy that goes back into the house bank with the minimum engine running time. We can still manually parallel both battery banks if for some reason there is not enough energy in the engine battery to start the engine (additionally, I installed a bow thruster with its own bank of 2 Group 31 batteries - always good to have a backup plan to the backup plan to be able to start the engine!). Lastly, as our ACR is buried in a hard to get to place, I ran wires to take advantage of the remote led capability of the ACR. To my surprise, the ACR was paralleling the engine and house battery banks when the 2-bank, shoreside battery charger was on. I then used instructions from the manufacturer's web site to install a switch on the ACR's ground wire to be able to disenable the ACR. Sometimes, I think we had it better when all we had was a single battery switch with a "1", "2", "Both", and "Off"! Best of luck.

You dont need a big fancy high dollar schematic for your electric as long as you can remember what's what on a dark and stormy night at Sea in the power just all went

hi good work guy

if water is coming into your boat faster than you can pump it out you are gona sink, so as far as i am concerned you cant have too many bilge pumps :)

Love seeing the interior coming together. I can't decide if like the small vertical frame on the cabin side. With the double ply thickness do you really need them? Could you replace with some nice knees at the cabin roof? ( sort of need somthing there anyway . Maybe later, sail first! , cheers Warren

If it is a blow down filter it really wants to go on the other side of the pump.

I though5 you would cleaned the gunk off or masking tape , those pumps you’ll need them once you up sail that boat is going to leek they way Its planked and after twisting it’s going to leek those masts are pushing through the bottom good vid keep going

Wow that color scheme looks amazing nice job! Ok got to ask about your block choice is that rated for the load and how are they going to hold up to salt air?

Your filter mount handle looks like it is on the piece that turns, if it is screwed to the boat how do you turn it. You probably secure it by the hoses.

Ya your husband is aqua man Ruth.... 👍🏼😝

Paint Queen... is this an upgrade from Tar-Queen? Question, is Garrett's surname Reeve? Running water, after five years, welcome to the modern era. Naval blue ends, hope the sides will be much lighter or the house will be super dark, looked like maybe white? Should look nice. So, did you guys get the gallon of tar out, or is it an emergency gallon now? Hahaha! See you next week.

At some point being able to run Ruth’s Mac and charge power tools from just batteries is going to be really useful. Maybe some one out there can help with ideas as to the most efficient way to do this? Can one get a 12v charger from dewalt or Makita in the US?

JC1028 that is potentially wasteful, dc to dc conversion like charging a phone from your car is more efficient. They won’t have a lot of solar so not wasting power is important, hence suggesting some one might offer a good solution.

Will your batteries run all those bilge pump’s at the same time and for how long ?

very impressive carpentry and electrical skills! Where did you learn all of it?

Nice music.
