Just so I don't temporarily end this thread on a
"woe-is-me-debbie-downer-my-engine-rebuild-went-to-hell" theme, here's a couple pictures of a small cabin improvement I made. It's no showboat like Niel's Catalina 30 cabin but I've become somewhat of an LED strip light connoisseur. These were the 3rd iteration of the strip lights I installed. First was a white-only, non-waterproof, 3500k color, 3258 size strip (Diodes 32mm x 58mm). I didn't like "cold feeling" white so I ripped them out. Next I installed an RGB (red green blue) 5050 (50mm x 50mm size) waterproof strip but later decided I wanted the ability to do white after all and ripped them out. Last week I installed RGBWW (RGB+Warm White) strips and so far have the v-berth and above the toilet sections soldered in. I know its unrelated to the A-4 but sometimes you just need a win.
