On this episode of Onboard Lifestyle we finally get the salon windows buttoned up on our catamaran one day before rain. Come back next week when we install t...

that means windows days windows day yep

so what's going on laid this one out

getting the holes drilled for the

fasteners and it's you can see right

here I've outlined our interior trim so

the idea is to run the fasteners into

the interior trim so quite a bit of

calculations to make sure this happens

so we'll see how it goes

been 2 months without windows two months

couple days of rain not too bad though

I'm not complaining fun days yeah one

day to have decided to use all my pots

and pans all my old towels all my tarps

everything but this is a big summer for

us we're trying to get this all done for

the wrong season one last winter here

[Music]

[Music]

so it looks like Till's not a very happy

camper you can tell everybody what

happened I miscalculated and I

pre-drilled through the windows

and I missed it fine 3/8 of an inch on

each side

well we'll just have to get new windows

it sucks but mistakes happen

so here's what I did the outside cut out

of this window frame is 12 inches

but due to the curvature of this as it

planes straight through the inside is 11

inches so what I did is I took the trim

to calculate my holes and I blew it so

after that Fiasco of having that know

and be drilled incorrectly we were able

to get the new window in on the same day

so score

oh crap I put the film on the right side

okay now watch here's where it gets

tricky okay take one screw

any hole I do it on the end you know

what we're gonna find that hole and try

to elevate it and find the hole

and line it up

try to turn it like this a little bit

again the hard way okay ham again

elevate the bottom don't let it touch it

and watch your fingers as we go on the

bottom

yeah

what contains about 10 minutes then you

got that they'll start okay yeah

oh really lose the star

they'll get the top rows on

[Music]

okay quick side window we're gonna go

ahead and just fasten justanswer then we

can go ahead and trace out the body

so your new windows in what do you think

okay that's two down

well we have this massive bank to go

right here but but we're kind of honing

our skills and getting better and better

at this yes you are

[Music]

[Music]

okay you want to tell everyone what

happened oh come on it's not too bad so

it appears that no window is similar on

this boat so when we had these cut yes

they're a little different but we didn't

know how much a quarter-inch makes a

huge difference so some of the holes are

very close to the edge

which means our our weather stripping

won't quite work with this we'll see

we'll make it work so how many extra

holes did we drill

then I took a chunk out of the boat okay

this can't work I think okay hey baby

[Music]

[Laughter]

[Music]

always an airplane always an airplane um

plane sorry

can you explain what you're doing I'm

running a little piece of foam tape it's

three eight five five sixteen was it

close so all right little cell and I put

this down not to keep the water out but

when we put our sealant on it keeps the

sealant from squeezing out kind of traps

it's like a trough right yeah it works

really does it looks cool

it doesn't cause

I guess it went work as a feeling - I

mean this is waterproof

[Music]

okay so you do this do you line this and

then we do the other side on the trim

side so on this side and then we fill

this side with silicone right I think

goodness it's been two over two months

luckily we've had a hundred days of no

rain in Seattle we know that's come into

the air we have a big weather event

coming to us they're actually

forecasting quite a bit of rain on

Sunday so how much weight are we talking

I think that's all it's a cool isn't it

doesn't matter you touch oh they do

remember I thought you were having a

little break so then you can put black

silicone

just painted you don't have to listen to

it

I do you don't excuse your to listen

argue I tell argue I'm just right

this is exciting Emma we've been with

Outlander

normally this one just this one tonight

and then tomorrow there you go I got

live silicon

set it break down the ground first and

and just you can have anyone anytime

them did just the top edge first

remember try to line it up as it go

okay hand me one

[Music]

okay got all the windows in just in time

rains been hitting for about a week

solid got a little break in the rain so

I'm going to show you how these windows

turned out

real happy with them

let's take a look at this Bank here this

was a tough one a lot to think about we

had about 300 fasteners in this whole

project and the fasteners are exposed on

the exterior but on the interior no

fasters that starboard lumber trick

worked out perfect we were in the tinted

lenses to give us some privacy on the

interior and to keep the Sun out when we

start hitting warmer climates but

overall we're getting there

what do you think of the new windows

they're amazing you can see through that

I know it's crazy isn't it look at this

everything turned out just like we

thought you know what's weird it's like

when we look outside we can see like

boats go by now it's not just like the

wall just keeps going on to the scratchy

part that you can't see through that's

how it used to be okay so this projects

done now we got to go to the next

project

yep you give this a thumbs up or a

thumbs down
