The head might be a small space, but there are a lot of details that have required a great deal of planning and critical decision-making. Steve discusses and installs the AirHead, the sink that will work with a foot pump, and the watermaker components and where they'll go.
Foregoing a hot water system and pressurized water, but opting into a reverse osmosis/desalination system, while installing a desiccating head over a water-fed head with a 15-gallon black water holding tank results in a good mix of simplicity and amenity that will serve well for long-term cruising. Steve's philosophy is to be as self-sufficient as possible and to keep things simple, maintenance-wise.
The bilge tanks are installed. One is a gray water holding tank for the sinks and shower pan. The other is a pickup tank for freshwater that will serve the foot pumps and sinks in both the head and galley.
And the freshwater tank inside the settee is installed permanently and snugly into its home. It's exciting to see the first piece of PEX piping in place that will feed into the pickup tank.

Acorn to Arabella is a boat building project taking place in Granby, Massachusetts. Steve started as an amateur boat builder building a 38' wooden boat in his backyard: designer William Atkin's Ingrid with a Stormy Petrel's gaff rig. These videos follow the journey from tree felling, to lumber milling, to lofting, to the lead keel pour and beyond—sharing details of the woodworking, carpentry, metal smithing, tool building, and tool maintenance that wooden boats command. This ultimate DIY project will continue well past launch, when he and the crew will travel and learn to cruise aboard the boat that they've built. Just kidding about all that, this channel is about a Siberian Laika named Akiva.
