I've spent the day fitting another light, this time the one in the 'coffin' berth in the passageway to the aft cabin... this one will be useful, as it can be a bit dark down there, and given that there is limited headroom, its previously been the cause of a few bumped heads!
I've alsoput the final white coat of paint on under the forepeak and coffin cushions... so that's all the white finished now until I start on the aft cabin.
I then came home, partially to be available to sign for the new starter motor, and partially to get on with a few jobs at home. I have sanded the hatch back to bare wood, and am now using the old bit of perspex as a jig to glue it all back together... the glue is having to not only hold it solid, but also will need to gap fill slightly, so it'll be a job in a few stages, otherwise the glue will run everywhere... which I've tried to stop in the short term with strategically placed bits of masking tape - that will probably need sanding off).. it does dry clear, and i'll then sand it all back to a neat finish before starting the varnish... the glue is pretty tough stuff, so once its properly dry, I can safely remove the old perspex
(excuse the rather naff old curtain that I use as a dust sheet!)
