What this video covers
The bathroom renovation on the steel vessel involves installing a custom ventilation system, plumbing fixtures, and surface finishing. To address poor airflow, a 4-inch bilge blower rated at 270 cubic feet per minute is mounted to the exterior wheelhouse wall, connected to the bathroom via 4-inch downpipe and sealed with Sika.6:22 The blower exhausts air through a 180-degree pipe bend to prevent water ingress.5:00 Plumbing installation includes a copper pipe assembly for a single-cold-tap sink and a shower mixer, requiring the trimming of threaded fittings by 5mm to ensure a flush fit against the bulkhead.8:38 The bathroom interior features coved corners to prevent mold accumulation and is coated with Jodan Mastic 90.14:20 Future plans include leveling the floor with cement to create a drainage slope toward the drain hole, followed by tiling.14:41 The owner notes that rolling paint with Mohair rollers requires significant sanding with 240-grit paper to achieve a smooth finish compared to spraying.13:15
