Recently we got some underliners for our cushions, to help elevate them to keep them dry. We got a sheet of a knock-off, and then today we got a sheet of the real deal to compare.

Curious to see how both will perform this winter. The knock-off is definitely not as strong structurally, but will probably still help.

We installed them just in time, because it's gonna go to -10°C tonight, and temps will stay cold for a long while...
It is snowing a bit right now :>... very light though.

@rek Our boat came with something like that (from a PO) and we never had any condensation under the cushions. I concluded that it works great :)

A long time goal aboard Pino has been to get rid of our 3-burner LPG oven(came with the boat, just sold it this morning), and to replace it with a single burner, which frees TONS of room underneath!

We plan to put drawers there for our produce. It's gonna be awesome ^___________^!

The two white bins in the photo hold our produce, they're just leaning there, but gives a good idea of what it's going to look like.

Rabbits on a morning walk in North Saanich. They'd planned to walk on the beach that day but the tide was too high, the water had swallowed the bottom of the stairs.

Before and after! Started working on the backrests for the saloon. It is the most complex fabric project Ive ever done.

The foam has a wooden backing, had to leave holes for the ball catch and the two hinges, the bottom of the cushion has a seamed zipper(so the cover is removable), and the foam is thicker at the bottom than at the top.

Now I gatta repeat this process 4 more times 😅

I messed a few things up on this first try but it doesn't show, only if you look closely, hehe ^^. I don't have a ton of sewing machine experience, the stitching isn't always straight.

The zipper plaque was a bit too narrow, getting the backing board in was super tough (will make zipper longer on other back rests).

I'll document what I had trouble with when I have a bit more time. As always, I'll put it up on our wiki.

@rek side question but i saw the mention of cooking soy beans
what kind of dishes do you make with cooked soy beans? or is it just for making soy milk / tofu?
