The battleship is in drydock being built

Hard part of plumbing is done. Got all the thru bulkhead work done, now can close up shower walls. All water lines are connected to gang drains and routed to their hookup points but havnt got primary or hotwater tank yet. . Things are picking up, need to order next batch of parts

This is pretty badass. I might have missed it, but are you doing diesel heat again?
Yep, problem is i am having to change plans for them some. They don't make the 25mm 4 output units anymore so plumbing 3" ducts don't work as well for layout but I will figure it out. All the work for propane is only to run a 2 burner stove.

I like keeping the propane to a minimum. I used to stay in a little cabin on occasion with propane everything, including heat. It got a little spooky running a propane heater all the time when it was cold. I would have felt a lot better with a wood stove.

I hate propane, I have had so many issues with it over the years temps or altitude related . Plus, it's a terribly unefficient fuel source compared to diesel heaters.
 
The most nerve raking part is done! Installed a 14" kitchen window with a built in exhaust fan and got "big" window in. Little was easy, they pop right in between studs. Big window is 30x22, it was a little more work due to having cut a secondary stud, weld in a brace to support both above and below. Tricky but took time and went perfectly and locked in tight. Had to reorder the 2 rear windows so they go in next week. Got half the A/c wiring done, but really slowing down for materials. Got to make a montana trip next week to shop and ups will be frequently visiting my shop. It's really starting to come together.

Looking great! Enjoying following your project. I did a smaller version of this a couple years ago and really had fun doing it. At that time I didn't know that the tip-out windows were a thing. Great choice. Where did you find them?
