Pilot House - 2018

Double pane windows: Add lexan panes on the inside.
Window Shades; because we are taking our great ship to Alaska we will need black out window shades. Gnettie found this great black-out material, white on one side and beige on the other.
No way we would be able to order these custom made so we endeavored to make them ourselves.
The results are below.
Window puttied on the inside, then a Lexan inside pane in place against a fur strip.
Should keep us nice and warm.
Close up view.
Here is the first try at making our own a shades. All rolled up and tied. Hard trying to fit a square roll-up shade in a not-so-square window opening.
Second shade in place. Sure gets dark once they are all down. Next we'll mount clips to keep them in place while down.
   
 
Cozy and cheery fire !! Diesel heater is working after I added a glass cased metal filter and cleaned the needle and seat a few times.
