1. What an awesome episode with the coolest and most beautiful (in MY opinion) plumber in the world!! And the news about the splash date? Wow, super cool!!!

2. You too are great, your joy is contagious.
   I think the drain trap you made in the galley will be a problem. The flex hose will collect food or grease and tend to clog.
   A fixed or hard drain trap will serve you better in the long run.
   I’m excited for you to splash Yaba so soon. Good luck getting her ready. Can’t wait.

3. Well done guys

4. you got this guys.

5. Three weeks to Splash? Good luck, fingers crossed, and prayers given.

6. Get your fingers out, guys! You'll make it.

7. I think 3 weeks is wildly optimistic based on where you are today unless you can employ some additional help.

8. No and Ben you should be having pina coladas

9. Should do the hullwork first and then proceed with other work so you are ready for the splash😊

10. now i am never one to make sexist remarks about ladies in kitchens, but it is a little like the ladies and new shoes or handbag – see MP getting water in the kitchen AND insisting on being the first to turn on the tap does confirm, MP is putting her mark on the kitchen as her domain – i found MP hiding amusing too, your going to have to watch her antics at sea, with Ben running round in circles, chasing his tail to locate her, thinking she has fallen over board – teach the dogs to find her

11. just checking you are using inserts in the ends of the pipe on all the connections, or dose that pipe not require them

12. Well done guys won’t be long now 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

13. Using the accordion drain pipes are not ideal. Any food scraps, etc. that accidently go down end up getting caught in the accordion recesses. Over time, this becomes a health and odor issue. Unlike in a house where you have a P-trap, there is no way to keep the odors from coming out the drain. I would really suggest using something like Fernco QwikFlex or a high pressure braided PVC vinyl tubing.

14. Very cool. T minus 30 days to splash🎉❤. Keep being awesome team.

15. The bottom of your kitchen sink is below the waterline? I would hate to have a sump box for the kitchen sink, that will be a headache.

16. How fantastic to see running water..!! Such renewed energy with an aggressive deadline.
    All the best for the next 3 weeks.

17. Hi Ben and MP. Combining hot and cold water in one hose is not safe. Regulation temp boiler should at least be around 50-60 celcius. Read more online about legionella and legionairs decessaes. Al the best coming next weeks. Hope you make it to splash before shrimp season. Greetings!!!!

18. Shower drains sumps on boats are often necessary but always nasty. They easily clog and need constant cleaning. Emptying your sink into a shower drain sump is just asking for trouble. Oils fats and soaps along with other wast will clog the sump in days and you’ll find it really hard to keep clean and running. I understand that because your sink is outboard of the Central line, the temptation is to use shower drain sump in order to prevent flooding , but you’re going to need to find another solution.
    Sorry!

19. Why did yall decide to do all that interior work that could be done after you are in the water before the other stuff under waterline outside the boat?

20. Happy New Year !!!
    You have a window of time to get Yaba in the water .
    You should be working on finishing the hell ,get her in the water.
    The hull is drying out ,she's going to leak a lot .
    Then, finishing the inside in the water .
    Come on and get it done….

21. For what it is worth (with the time delay), I would not be to worked up on getting into the water in January. If you end up on the slipway for another 2-3 months… unless you have a place you can use to get out of the water if needed, you may wish you stayed on the slipway if the cost is not to bad. Those months will go by quick, and give you a safety margin.

22. You guys have done an amazing job. Don't let the short timeline overwhelm you. There is much you can do in the water. Focus on what must be done on the dry first. Finish installing the metals to put the shrouds. Make sure you can drop and raise the anchor. The boom and all the wooden parts for rigging can be installed in the water, but have it on the boat while is easier to carry. Install the sacrificial keel and hull through sensors. You can get a depth sensor that can be dropped from the side. All other sensors can be wired later. Finish what the boat needs to float. Bring into the boat that which will be heavy and cumbersome to tranfer into the boat like the freezer and tanks. Have a dingy to travel back and forth from boat to land. Safety equipment. All other instalation and wiring and rigging can be done in the water. Concentrate on installing what must be done on land so the boat doesn't sink. You can finish everything else on the boat. Remember, if you can move the rudder drop anchor and move the boat without sinking, you can put the boat in the water. It will be more inconvenient, but you can finish it in the water.😉

23. Exciting times! LOVE your shower! 😎🥰

24. I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but PVC is not a good piping system for your water once it's been in for a while it gets if you accidentally bump it it will crack

25. And if the Sun get access to it it even gets more bad

26. On the hot water if you plan on using PVC use CPVC

27. My voice to text is not working and I want to help you out

28. Good luck

29. It looks like you are using PEX b better but still light degrading

30. Love you guys. Keep up the good work!😊

31. Great job guys! 3 weeks? WOW!

32. Cool….

33. As a tip to you, do not put teflon tape on the threads that you are going to thread the 1/2 inch fitting from the breaded line from the faucet because there is a rubber o ring that seals the water not the threads, by putting teflon, tape on threads, it fills the threads and it makes it harder for the fitting to tighten up against the o' ring.

34. Can't see any red pipe for hotwater. Is that for later.

35. Shark bite connectors will only last as long as the neoprene o-ring. They also can become dislodged if significant side pressure occurs. For lasting connections with PEX, use compression fittings (either brass or stainless). Those fittings will outlast the tubing while your Shark bites will last the o-ring life (and then an entire plumbing retrofit).

36. Hi, Happy New Year to all of the Yabá's team and a special one to MP's Dad. MP's reaction at running water was filled with the joy of innocence. Throughout rebuilding Yabá you have been so good at not hiding your faults and mistakes that makes you very special in showing and telling what can go wrong, I'm lost of words in admiration to you in how you showcase Yabá, thankyou so much hats off to all of you

37. Enjoyed the episode. Great job on the plumbing!

38. Been with you from the begining, cant wait til your sailing again.

39. Don’t get Bubba Gump’d.
    Just keep your head down and get the things that have to be done there. 🍤🍤😊

40. Do you wait until Sunday before you do anything?

41. Happy New Year 🎉 Great episode. I love how you’ve split up your expertise over the years. Look how much the two of you have learned and applied over the years. Amazing! I’m still in shock about the splashing. I’ll miss the boatyard.
