Busy day of repair and prep.

 Today was a very busy day. We removed and installed a new gally refrigerator. This took about 1700 bucks but that included removal and disposal as well as installation. We all chipped in and got the basic installation done in about an hour. The new Norcold 61 unit slid right into place without any cabinet modifications required. This was great news for us because it means we can hang onto the configuration we have without having to resort to interior changes. So far it is behaving much better than the old unit and I have to admit Norcold has made some good changes to the basic product that improve the amount of space and perhaps efficiency. It used to be they were the only game in town but over ten years that changed so their product has been improved as a result of the competition.
 Consider that the front window had to be removed. I think there are something like 60 screws that hold it in place along with sealant that has been stuck since the boat was built. The clean up from this was extensive because it was this black gooey stuff that never hardened. A roll of paper towels and about half a container of Goo Gone cleaned up most of this.
 Once all of this was resolved and the interior restored to order, the brige cleaning proceeded. Having Freedom stored down South exposed her to some mildew we have yet to experience. Bleach and scrubbing resulted in a clean hard top and a bridge we can work on again. But we still have quite a bit of cleaning because a boat was sanded nearby Freedom and she has quite a bit of dust on her.
 Regardless, we're getting ready to move.
