This head is nearly wrapped up– it's painted! The hatch above (allows for standing headroom for our taller friends) is mounted, the light fixtures installed, the Lavac head mounted with all its various Y-valves and pumps and hoses! The holding tank is in the forepeak beyond the square opening, which will have a nice mahogany door soon.

I made the slatted floor with okume. The round opening above the head is a solar deck fan with battery backup for night operation.

The tall locker to the left is stowage. We decided against a hanging locker here. A little cabinet above the vanity counter will be very handy.

UPDATE: See the forepeak cabinet door and details and of the plumbing to manage the black water and shower sump.

Our lovely vanity counter and sink...

It's a standard Kohler lavatory sink in brushed stainless. We wanted a nice big sink. Little ones are barely serviceable for brushing teeth when in port. One needs somewhere to wash underwear and hair. The shower wand will reach from the head to this sink– and to the chainlocker opposite for rinsing off the anchor rode and chain!

We will have a mahogany backsplash with a little shelf on top. This will conceal wiring.
