We are moving right along in the upper guest cabin!
Progress Update:
- The walls in the cabin have all been scraped! After three days of scraping, Eric pinched a nerve in his back so Mary finished the rest of the scraping in two more days. It was a lot of work but had to be done.
- The wall section under the port side window has been replaced with new plywood. We painted the backs of the panels on this section. The new 1/8" plywood 'skins' do not need any paint and this makes the work move more quickly.
- Two and a half walls have been completed. A pattern is built for every panel, cut and fitted. Then each area is coated with liquid nails caulking, the panels pressed in place, shot with stainless steel staples and then spackling over the staples.
- DJ has removed the smaller water heater from the stateroom closet. This will be installed under the stairwell up forward. It needs a good rinsing first. The brown, sawdust looking stuff alongside in the photo was drained from the water left over after removal.
- The closet is pretty nasty. It will be cleaned after the removal of the old water heater brackets. They are welded in, so will have to be cut. New shelving will also have to be made. There is a lot of potential storage space!
