Finishing off some old jobs

I am starting to run out of jobs! Strange feeling. The cabin lining will have to wait until next summer as I need warm dry weather to cut out the anchor locker hatch and glass over it. Recent small jobs were: finishing plumbing in the hatch drains (involved removing batteries and much wriggling in small spaces); smartening the cabin step, finishing lining the heads (loo) and installing a bilge monitor system. This warns if the bilge pump is running and also to warn if the pump has run while the boat was unattended. If you want to make one yourself, I have put full instructions here: http://www.boat-angling.co.uk/Hints_and_Tips/bilgemonitor.htm It looks like this.
