Getting close

SHIP'S LOG:

Things are progressing nicely, though I did have to reseal the main hatch again.This time, rather than sealing just the outer edge, I did the inside as well. I test with a hose indicated that all was seal and there were no leaks. Huzzah!

All of the ceiling panels are down and cut to more manageable sizes. I had to fill all the screw holes and glue all the places where the Masonite was broken. Today's project for the ceiling panels is to finish filling the holes as I ran out of wood paste and then to paint them, or at least get started on the project. I will also do all the measuring so that I can buy the wood stripes necessary to hang them in place. It will be a real joy to get them in place and off the cabin floors.

I am hoping that I will be able to paint the bottom this weekend and handle any tasks and projects that need to be done on the hard. They are all basically small, though there are some that can be done in the water. Then it will be launching time.
