Restart after long layoff

Well it's been a long time coming, but work has started again and needs to go ahead at a steady pace from now on. Last week I pulled in the cables for the negative and positive busses for all the house wiring which is a loop running from the position of the chart table, forward along the starboard side through the sail locker and then aft along the port side. Feeder wires will be taken off this for all light and socket points where needed. Most of this will be done before bulkheads, bunks, lockers etc are fitted. I plan to make this as maintenance free as is possible and will also ensure easy acces once all fixtures are in place.
I have also run a seperate cable loop around the chine for all the Electolytic Protection to metal fittings and the sacrificial anode.

Next step will be to install the chain locker floor and bulkhead.

Pics to follow.
