Oh Beverly is in the dark dark as usual
she's in the dark but she's starting to
bite the bullet on them the top panel
I'm a little job of the day that you
can't really see going on is that the
laptop I use to edit all the videos when
we're clunk last night and I'm busily
rebuilding and reloading all the
operating systems and I've had fun for
us for hours but I think Amelia see this
video
you know I fix it
[Music]
Bev and I have been shopping again
so what will we go in here baby whoo we
have a new light yeah we only need the
one oh no it's got a white switch I need
a black one oh yeah great yeah but
that's really the only issue really that
comes with a white switch yeah well
that's not I don't know if you can see
here this one I know this one is all
crowded but what we're going to do is
this is above our kitchen and we've got
one there which is above Rafi above our
sink but we've decided that we need
another one just about here yeah so that
we've got a lot more light in our
kitchen this one will be going about
here so that it illuminates this side of
the kitchen yeah because we we we just
need a bit more light in the kitchen
because Bev loves cooking as you know at
the the hob why you're pointing
everywhere but where the light is okay
okay well anyway Bev need some more
light so that lights gonna go up there
to illuminate this area yeah but you're
doing this area the idea is to put this
one right here so we can eliminate this
side of the kitchen because not when
they're illuminates all I like to about
here so I need to do this side and get
more brightness here the corroded one
she was showing you over there will be
swapped I put in behind here but we've
got another one you can see the light
which is very difficult to see this one
will go there that one will go there and
then that will be other side because
this cow is supposed to use for storage
so that is the plan yay and if you just
come over here and focus on the light
I'm focusing on the light
this one as well as being corroded there
somebody's had a real pig's ear job of
gluing the switch on and their little
rocker switch is broken so this meant it
there's a 10 C jet as you can see it's
got a bad switch so I have bought eight
dozen new switches a dozen a new rockers
and a dozen new little serines so this
is gonna get chicken dine refurbished
refix well things are not going
according to plan but that's normal
I've praised as a part in all the
insides of fair light which is not good
it's obviously not meant to be prised
apart obviously what there appears to be
and that's very difficult to see is
there's like too little copper bleeds
vyas that way I think the idea is you
push a wire in like that and a lot of
copper bleed as you push the wire in it
deflects tine like that and then if you
try to pull the wire back the little
blade stops are coming out but these
have got lips these got like special
metallic crimps on the end which I think
I meant to catch that little copper
bleed whereas I wouldn't have that what
I might do is put a little blob of
solder on the end mmm and it is pulls
back the blob of solder but catch could
well be anyway we've got to experiment
to see what works yeah so Webb's going
to be doing some experimenting well I'm
gonna go outside
well I'm trying to remove our Stern
light because unfortunately because of
the position of our dinghy nobody can
see thee nobody can see our stone light
so it's got to be moved but because
there's nuts on it are quite small I've
got a huge array of spanners and all
sorts of stuff out bomb face a they've
all failed
and it's my pointy nose pliers one of my
many pointy nose pliers that have come
to my rescue in this case so it's one of
the reasons you really do need quite a
few tools on a boat because
unfortunately you'll always find
something that doesn't quite work hey
I've succeeded I've got the wire out
the light is removed as with all these
things as a way and in this particular
case the way was to press on the button
there at the bottom
Wow same time pushing this light fitting
off well while I being outside
Beverley's obviously had fun in games
with the light fitting the light
fittings well have done as I've taken
off the chrome plating and you can see
where it wasn't says the brother
tarnishes so I could maybe polish this
up but at least now at law eventually
come to the same partner one of Ages
yeah but I finally got this in these
little devils button whoops just two
tiny little stubs here oh I see them and
they have to push through there and
there and then these do breeze here
spring against the side of the fitting
and they're what holds it all together
so the whole thing's held together these
two little doobie fittings and in the
well Hindus call them Beverley rather
doobie fittings and you can see here Wow
yes it's broken that's why it was always
a dodgy switch yes because what happens
in was this the switch then comes off
the little reed relay inside yeah and
basically it's just touching it enough
to make it flicker there's a bad
connection and it shorts yeah but you
can see there that was shattered you can
see that the it's broken and that was
what were the issue was yeah with those
but gosh definitely a little so to put
these together you push the wires in
through the holes till they lock you put
that inside the body you fit the ring
first and then you push the switch in
through the ring hole to clip into this
and that's how it's done is sorting out
fiddling with the light switches I'm
going to be fiddling with this rather
interesting bracket which I bought
yesterday now I'm gonna be attaching
that that's actually galvanized and I'm
going to be attaching that to a
stainless steel pipe well idea well
number one didn't work this just isn't
it's just not sticky enough so Beverley
has come up with a different idea
oops which will hopefully look at in a
second
yessiree it's a bit of gaffer tip and it
will just initially this we think this
is actually stainless I think the packet
was just so dirty it look like Galva
yeah but it could well be stainless but
we're doing this just to make sure that
there's no provide yeah well victory is
ours we finally got the ball but you can
already see that my our idea isn't quite
gonna pan out so what I'm gonna do is
I'm going to cable everything up that
way I know how much clearance have got
to make leave for the bulb and the
cabling and then I'm going to create
some kind of interesting thing here no
idea what yet but it's just normal
normal boats it never quite goes
according to plan so three years and
four days later yeah
I've finally got this in and there is an
actor and I no no but the nock is XO
news so are you gonna share no no come
on
alright these two little tiny clips yep
snap in behind these two little tiny
clips here yeah so what you've got to do
is you've got to get this unit to slab
that in there under that and then that
little one there snaps in like that
these two press by
against the side of the debris holding
it stiff once you have these in place
you can then take the switch put it in
there and press hard and the switch will
snap into that little hole and that
little hole and that's how you do it but
getting this ring into that thing it's a
right nuisance so I'm hoping that all
the other ones I don't have to put the
ring in yeah but at least Beverly has
sauced out so you basically put the ring
on first ring goes on first and then
it's got to go I don't know how visible
it will babe there's a tiniest little
plastic clip yes is minut right maybe
I'm we can see that I'll try to film a
close-up of it later okay but but that
does that and then you take your wires
and you Ram them into those holes and
with a bit of luck everything is good to
go but the switch isn't I think I've got
one in here that needs to be done I
think the real problem to be quite
honest is getting this ring in that
getting the ring in was the hardest bit
the other ones the Rings are already in
place and what I'm hoping is I can just
pull the body out behind to put a new
body in and then just don't get away oh
here's hoping bath cos you've got quite
a bit to do oh look at that it's shiny
[Music]
okay come on I see the funny downs and
victory is Beverly's yay look at this
one to deal with it's not gonna win yeah
but shouldn't be so bow Beverley got her
victory I have wired this up to a much
longer piece of wire that will sort that
out and now I know exactly how much
bended you've got and all that sort of
stuff but I've got to sort this out now
so more to do Hey well after much
yabbering Beverley and I do lots of
yabbering because as we work out the
designs what we've decided is
alt from here with a washer and not that
will keep that sealed there's going to
be a gap but will as long as we allow
water to run through it will never
collect the bits appealing is then going
to go on the back of what and then the
bolt will go through here as well
through that and it will finally end up
on this side so the bolt is going to go
through the light through this beauty
through there and into here because that
will be what actually clumps this
together well we finally got this
bracket drilled it went through to drill
bits because of course this is stainless
steel bracket and ah
drill bits were from China to the job
but because I used the cheap ones to
start we've had to read we've bought
some new drill bits and we've basically
had to redo it again
well Bev did because she didn't trust me
but they go yeah we had a great plan for
our bracket to hold our Stern light on
up but there is one major problem just
isn't working so what was the
fundamental flaw basically it just turn
to wobbly the clump really was it's just
too wide too wide for the pipe we have
yeah it's too wide for the pipe we
thought it would be a great plan but
it's just too much the pipe so back to
the drawing board
well this is plan 2
and what we're doing is we're using a 25
mil peak lip now I'm gonna have to order
up another 25 mil peak lip but in the
means
we're using good old cable ties which
seem to be the default go-to on this
boat hopefully coming down oh yeah it's
gonna work the velcro right a bit at a
time I'm using these just to push the
velcro apart
that's all I'm using this form we have
coughed a push apart - no Bo got scraper
paint scraper yeah but is up with a
point not something with them blade oh
yeah oh my god you won't believe what's
behind you yeah well it's called empty
space it's called a large hole actually
[Music]
yeah is exactly why I thought basically
NOLA well this is salty laughs at the
moment this is Beverly's cack-handed
the resident electrical engineer on the
other side of the camera was too busy
playing with her computer today so I did
this you did do this and you've done
very well Beverly because I'm put the
heat shrink on yet true
yeah but the acid test is what let's
just turn it down thing on and see if
the boat blows up Hey as you can see
we've got light and I can turn that one
off or I can turn that one off turn this
one on or turn them both on and other
lights in the boat like over here are
still working and save mine so in other
words they're all wired correctly in
parallel yeah so now that he's done that
it's got to get the heat shrink on and
put it all back together yep and if you
don't have heat shrink then I would
recommend amalgamating tape because
that's a good idea because it doesn't
leave horrible sticky residues it does
not leave horrible sticky residues but
I'm not being paid you know that's the
thing although yes I agree I was playing
with my computer but somebody was paying
me to do so so money
I'm afraid has to be done so Beverly
went for the amalgamating tape solution
because the heat shrink wouldn't fit all
right let's do a test before we put it
off that's always a good plan
it was clearly par coming in yep
so this is final test time yep yep both
sides of the circuit and these are all
lit up and you can switch them off
independently independently yay all
independently going so that's perfect
now we've just got to put it up onto the
ceiling yeah yeah this is what it used
to be like this was the dark corner and
if you were doing anything over here it
was quite dark and difficult to say
because you often got in the way of this
light here so it's shielded this side
okay so now put the light on oh that's a
lot better I think our new light is
actually brighter brighter which in a
kitchen is no bad thing no bad thing
right so put that one on and put the
other one off but yeah the other one
does contribute like you know but isn't
that a lot better so as I say all we
need to do now is the obligatory
cleaning up but in there
Beverly has got just some potatoes
cooking because I had that much sauce
for the Shea cottage pie I couldn't put
the top part in yeah so um one way of
doing cooking and not actually pork
is to just wrap it in towels warm it's
not hot but it's warm
yeah Brits efficient but anyway she's
gonna turn up now and then it's gonna be
my favorite time did a swell off scoff
means they to be honest um my favorite
time today is breakfast lunch dinner
open wine o'clock
[Music]
you
