The main aim this week was to get as far as possible with the aft cabin using materials that I had in stock. Over the weekend I had sorted the paint finish on the two remaining doors by sanding them back and applying a further coat which has made them much more presentable and also cleaned up the bulkhead piece for the lockers. I began on Monday by fitting the two shelves and the bulkhead. I then finished up the day by looking into the installation of a diesel fired heater, it looks as though the heater will go into the steering gear space with the hot air duct running down the port side, my only concern is the length of duct, I am planning to use one of those Russian Planar units possibly their 4 KW model and apparently the maximum duct length is 5 meters I shall contact them for confirmation next week. For the remainder of the week I have been finishing off the starboard side lockers by fitting the forward front panel and the hardwood cover strip over the join between the two panels and then once this was complete I cut out and fitted the laminate corner trim pieces for the forward bulkhead in a similar manner as those for the saloon. forward cabin and the heads
Port side corner trim
Starboard side
That is about is about as far as I can go in the aft cabin until I can sort the rest of the trim and find a suitable mirror.
