De ce nu ne concentrăm trapele (MJ Sailing – Ep 257)

Its your boat …put them where ever you please. Being happy is always the best reason to do just about everything !👍

You need to stress they don't make guys wear skirts after you buy a plot of land in your commercials. Guys with accents are annoying when they fly in for major Poker tournaments. You atomically know they are first-string and in for a nightmare. There is a reason why you have neighborhood dog parks and zero cat parks. Dogs are much easier to acclimate to other living creatures. A past girlfriend did have a cat that loved ridding one particular horse. Not centering hatches only matters to OCD anal retentives' like me.

Drilling and sawing through a new fiberglass boat would make me nervous as hell

I was in Lowes this week and I saw the PVC downspout and thought of your wire duct issue it's lightweight but it's square that might help in your wireway hunt if you need something bigger than the 2" vacuum tube.

Annapolis is a great place for you to have such easy access to while you're building. I used to be there when I visited my former employer's site in Annapolis, Northrop Grumman. I really enjoyed when we got into town because of all the great people. Can't remember all the places where we ate (a decade ago) but we were never disappointed.

It's challenging to make decisions like that hatch and visualize all the circumstances that might affect the best placement. I trust your vision and I know when she's fully built and in the water, we'll find that you made an excellent decision.

Centering things makes things look balanced and precise, offsetting will look a bit unusual, however accenting the space can return it to a balanced look. Put something under the hatch, or paint something in the space under and or around the hatch to compensate… Personally I'm more about functionality than aesthetics, so if it works, it works… I'm more thinking about a big wave from behind and how well it will hold up. I would make it easy to put an additional storm protection mechanism over it, or emergency replacement if it breaks while underway, i.e. a fiber glass piece cut to fit that is used elsewhere for some other purpose… Oh, pour a can of tuna juice over one of the cats – he he

We have three cats. One is several years older, and two litter mates. All three are well adjusted, and still there are cat fights. After deciding witch one is at fault, short separations are needed. It’s not a huge problem.

Off-centered hatch allows use of one side whereas centered results in two useless border strips. Imo

Looking good. I bet you guys get excited every time you tackle another one of these big things. Then reality comes back and hits you reminding you that you have so much more to go. Assuming those hatches are you emergency exit point as well. With the step under them on the outside, that would probably give you something to grab and pull yourselves through if you ever needed to.

Only worry about the structural and stress fracture, the rest will not matter later on.

If the cat is your pet, I don't understand why you would want to leave it

Your placement for the hatch makes a lot of sense from your comments. There is no need to center it – it looks fine where it is.

Not likely to be cuddle buddies – maybe, you can hope, but not likely. With the humans mixing after petting the other cat – will go a long way in allowing them to tolerate each other. Cats release "scent" and if it is rubbed off, and smelled by the other cat – hey will become familiar. I have two cats – that moved into the house at different times – and they are not buddies, there is an occasional back off buddy growl, hiss, swipe- but there are no blood feuds.

I think that all of your reason for moving the hatch up are good, valid reasons and you will be happy with the choice. But there is another benefit, apart from privacy, to a higher hatch. All of the hot, stale air in the space is going to be at the top. Having a higher hatch will give a way for that air to be vented even when you can't open a top hatch for the weather or other considerations.

How heavy is the green boards? everything is looking amazing.

The ad was a hoot, like the one before it.
Love the hatch layout, it will fit right in with the steps and views.

Will it be awkward climbing those steps when the hatch is open?

The hatches location looks good, and most importantly, you've been able to make that decision yourselves. I like the step arrangement too. Perhaps both cats need to get used to each other in both homes.

I have just a quick question. Why drill the holes in the middle of an edge instead of a corner? When ever I have seen a project where you are removing the middle and keeping the edge and not using something that can do a plunge-cut they drill a hole in each corner.
