Progress Update: March 7th

(Eric prepping galley overhead)

• Moving right along on galley progress! The main galley fiddles are installed and have received multiple coats of varnish.
• The new vent fan is installed and wired.  Eric had to modify the previous vent air access and build a frame.
• The J-channels for the overhead panels are 80% installed. Lots of precise measuring involved for each one, plus plywood backing strips.
• Once the J-channels are completed, the next step will be the overhead panels. Along with panel installation, each light fixture will be taken down, cleaned of smoke damage and then re-wired and installed into the new overhead.
• We had a few warm days before the next cold snap set in, so Mary took advantage of the nice weather to catch up on outside maintenance. Along with other chores, the upper bridge deck was hand scrubbed to remove the accumulation of winter dirt, dust and pollen.
