Hatch boxes in place!

Big day on Friday with a 7h30 start time.  On the list:  weld the four remaining hatch boxes, the missing plate on the port side salon window and a few rust perforations in the deck.

Today Saturday, we hoped to be able to put a coat of Amerlock epoxy sealer on all those new areas but after cleaning the weld beads and exposing the metal past the point where the paint burned off, it’s almost 2pm and it started raining: We’ll have to postpone to tomorrow.  The remainder of the day was spent cleaning the boat and gluing more windows.

On the menu for next week: Sandblasting (hopefully!), purchase of adhesive sealant for hatches and Amercoat 235 epoxy barrier coat.  Then start painting one coat a day.  
Start toying around with insulation options to replace what we removed for welding.  Sanding and varnishing of wood frames.

Lots of work ahead…
