Back to headlining

Over last weekend I managed to complete the painting of one side of the various locker doors hopefully the weather will warm up a bit next week so that I can start painting the backs of the doors, I was hoping to be fitting them by now. There is still plenty of work to be done but at the moment I am running out of stuff to do it with so I had a bit of a trawl round and found the lining carpet that I had cut out some time ago for the starboard side of the saloon and so after finishing scraping down the inside of the hull I glued it in place which has tidied things up nicely in this area, this was the last usable piece of lining carpet left although I do have a bag full of odds and ends which may come in useful sometime. I already have the panels made for the under deck area just need to order some more lining carpet for this and several other areas.



Saloon starboard side 

I spent some time spiral wrapping the single core cables running through the port side of the aft cabin this is a bit of a laborious task as previously described some time ago, the action of winding the stuff round the cables tends to tighten up the spiral so every so often there is a need to stop and unwind it.

Today I made and fitted two plywood headlining panels one for the quarter berth and a small one which fits at the end of the bookshelf, see last weeks blog post, just awaiting some lining carpet which hopefully will arrive early next week if this awful weather does not hold things up.

That's about it this weeks efforts don't look much but things are further forward than they were on Monday.
