hey guys welcome back to ask me basic

we've been on the yard for a few weeks

now and living on the heart is kinda

hard so before we dive into any new

projects we're gonna show you what it's

like to live on the boat on the heart

okay so like what ever said life on the

heart is not easy and we all have

compromises that we have to adjust to

and I think it depends on who you ask

this crowd we all we all have slightly

different views of what it's like to

live on the heart I mean we all have

different responsibilities and some of

them require more facilities than others

and so it's tougher on one versus the

other

so when it comes to dishes you can't

wash anything on board right now because

we can't have any water going through

the drains so what we've done is we have

set up a bucket in the sink and

throughout the day whenever we use we

put it in there and first thing in the

morning I trek on down to the laundry

facility to wash your dishes it's not

fun but it's much better than the option

of just using disposables which so

wasteful

and Plesac get some steps to them too

[Music]

and that's how I do dishes kind of hurry

up today isn't actually a really special

day Emma's birthday gonna get her up she

has a friend coming over and we're gonna

go out for breakfast so happy birthday

Emma

okay let's face it while living on the

hard this room has the most effect on

all of us the head it stays nice and

clean because we can't use it we'll put

a little bucket in the sink just to

remind us that we can't use the drain

the toilet not using that either look at

the shower

it's turned into more of a storage unit

just kind of keep our shower bags in

here and our laundry can't use the

shower because like right down the drain

because our work area so we have to make

do

okay people the end of the hard day are

we off to

luckily tell me have to walk how far

down here about a quarter-mile away as

the showers we do this every day

okay overall living on the hard what do

you girls sing he's really easy and yeah

it's kind of difficult but it's not so

bad

really it's not you just got to get used

to it it changes the way that you live

for a little bit but just temporary

right it is temporary

we're getting closer every day yeah and

the other thing that's great about

traveling and doing something that's

different is the people everyone here

has been so friendly and helpful and has

made some friends

she went sailing she's done a little

boating the beach is right across the

way so she spends most of our time there

when she's not doing school it's not so

bad oh we even got to go to the the

parade downtown that was fun

did you like that yeah was really nice

we had a great family day

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

that was awesome you were too passed out

hey good morning look at our bridge deck

stiffener is done now it just needs to

be all sanded out and fared I'll get

started on that today also bounce back

over here and continue working on these

now that this first lamination is cured

I could get this sand it out but I'm

really happy with this

these just turned out nice and flat and

they feel strong what I need to do is

sand this out and start working under

here shaping this in and get my

lamination started under here

I need laminations here more here and

start laminating up here

it's like I love to do today got the

weather for it so I'll get busy

well I think that's really great about

this yard is that when we meet apply

three stars right there let's go

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

well let's check this out

I've been layering glass on here and

this one is about done it's got multiple

laminations and it's about flushed out

so I'll be able to sand this out and

fair this soon the first I need to start

laminating some more here and wrap

around this trailing edge but doing the

same thing over here on a few

laminations behind on this side I'll be

able to get one or two on today and get

this one done boy that's feeling get it

done just solid container also been

bouncing on to this bridge deck

stiffener look at this I just applied

some fairing compound it's already

starting to kick and I sanded it I mean

these transitions now are invisible

just keep working that take a look at

this

it's kind of cool look what they just

hauled out supposed to got a little bit

of a history the Hawaiian chieftain it's

a boat with a lot of character

[Music]

compass what do you think that's what

you think I'll tell you what I think I

think it's pretty amazing but for my

chicken scratch just these little notes

I was doodling on a piece of paper

actually two piece of paper Lin actually

took all those notes to the fabricator

and he made this and it actually fits I

mean it fits almost perfect I did have

to shape a little bit right here just on

this little tip besides that it looks

like it's gonna bolt right in

sun's out I want to get a project done I

think I'll just crank this out real

quick make me feel good about today got

some epoxy Karen downstairs anyway since

this was a blind connection here I had

the welder weld in a 3/8 inch plate in

here I need to drill and tap that first

I've laid out where all the hardware

goes now it's just a matter of drilling

it in

[Music]

okay everything's drilled out

I have butyl tape around the holes this

is a wet Locker I'm not too concerned

with any water getting through here but

I think we're ready to install this

I think it's gonna work Wow

well that went pretty smooth everything

lined right up look at this

all I need lynZ help to tighten it up

backer plates on the backside of this

this 90 core is actually inch and a

quarter thick on the deck an inch and a

quarter thick on the face here so the

backer plates are which right in the

corner worked out pretty slick actually

this is bolted from inside

long wait for Lin think I'll build a

couple decks here filled this deck and

the background I'm not gonna lie

feels good to drop the sander for a

little bit and just physically build

something I'm using the starboard lumber

to make the decks this is actually a

remnant from the window trim and let's

see that was way back in episode 9 when

I did the window trim and this is one of

the tales from it

I saved this cuz I knew I'd have

projects down the road and this is

perfect for this I'm gonna cut this out

router the edges and it should make a

great substrate to mount a cushion too

one day

[Music]

[Music]

I'm not quite sure how the cushions are

gonna attach to this yet so I just put a

eighth inch round over just to ease that

edge slightly until we figure that out

okay just set these in place

seconds going to work out

we'll get this exactly where I want it

and attach these permanently okay let's

see how this turned out that nice backer

plates in here nice and strong let's see

what it looks like

oh I get it you like it yes it's way

better than standing all day isn't it

can you see over the top okay all right

for the project down so a lot of you

guys asked why we didn't put out a video

two weeks ago and we have a very good

reason for it

oh yeah it's tough I lost my mom it's

been devastating so we just we dialed it

back and family comes first this is a

huge loss for our family especially Emma

and just trying to get a grip of what's

happened this is very unexpected and we

love her very much

so anyways it's been a tough time for

our family it's been tough so projects

and boat life everything kind of goes

into the back burner because we gotta

take care of ourselves and our family

first and that is our highest priority

it is but so we're slowly getting back

into the swing of things and you know

life happens things happen but we're

gonna be okay

and we're gonna keep pushing through

because that's something that she would

want us to do and that is to pursue your

dreams and live life to the fullest just

makes me wanna just work even harder to

get to that goal because that's the

right thing to do

[Music]

so here's to you mom

[Music]

you
