Installing Fridge on Boat: A Step-by-Step Guide
In this episode of Life On The Hulls, the documentary team delves into an exciting and complex task – installing a fridge in a custom-made cabinetry aboard their boat. This meticulous process reveals the challenges faced due to boat building and how they were ingeniously overcome for a sleek finish.
The Journey Begins
With months of planning and preparation, the team decides to install their dual drawer vitra fridge into a custom-built cabinet. This isn’t your usual refrigerator installation; it’s a test of skill, precision, and determination. The first challenge arises as they realize that the boat’s cabinetry is not entirely straight due to handmade discrepancies.
Challenges Along the Way
To fit the perfectly rectangular fridge into the slightly curved cabinetry, the team had to use a creative solution. They opted for shims, foam, and epoxy to fill in gaps and make adjustments for a snug fit. However, as they started cutting holes in their boat’s structure, new problems came to light – the cut-outs weren’t exactly uniform either!
The Final Touches
After many hours of work and multiple adjustments, the team successfully installs the fridge. They then address the wiring and power supply issues to ensure it functions efficiently. A wood surround is added around the cabinetry for a polished finish. Despite facing several setbacks due to the boat’s handmade nature, the result is a perfect blend of functionality and aesthetics.
The Impact on Boat Building
This episode isn’t just about installing a fridge. It’s an insightful look at the nuances of boat building and the challenges one may face while working with handmade elements. It emphasizes the importance of flexibility, creativity, and problem-solving skills in marine construction projects.
The Conclusion
In the end, it’s not just about fitting a fridge into a boat. It’s about overcoming obstacles and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with creativity and hard work. The episode concludes on an exciting note as the family gathers for Sam’s wedding, bringing together friends, family, and the beautiful Jamberoo waterfront.
