Tonight was pretty simple. I spent a couple hours scribing, cutting and sanding the two 1/2" pieces of plywood for the bunk decks into place. Once again, two pieces were required as the space to fill was wider and longer than four feet.
I did discover one DDD though. The nailer on the starboard bulkhead wall was 3/16" to high. Now that's a head scratcher, but some work with the sander brought that down to level.
After fitting the two pieces together and screwing them down, I just couldn't resist laying down on the deck and just staring at the ceiling. There's still three or four days of work here, but it was so satisfying to lay there and contemplate that moment.
What's really cool is that the bunk space from the bulkhead to the forward chain locker is 7' 2" long! With the decks in place the space looks huge!
I'm really thrilled with how well this space has worked out; numbers and lines on a computer screen never quite match the feeling of reality.
So, four hatches to make, a little epoxy work to do in the storage areas, paint the storage areas, fillet and glass the bulkhead to the hull, fillet and glass the decks and it will be on to the rear bulkhead.
Some mental reworking has been done there as well, off to the CAD work to see how it looks.
