Replaced your forward house?
Hello
The last bastion of rot on my 76 34' D/C is the forward house. I was hoping to scarf in good core, but it's too far gone.
I've recored the decks, the cabin top, the bottom foot of most of the house, a huge piece of wall in the rear head, and the wall where the shore power goes.
My concern is what holds up the front windows. They appear to be supported from the top, and they sit on the bulkheads that make the forward head, and the forward locker.
If you rebuilt the forward house, did you find it necessary to support the front windows? Or did they hang from above while you slid the new core underneath?
Obviously I'm concerned about tearing off the forward house and having the front windows collapse.... Thinking of building a support to hold up the front of the flybridge, and another support from the forward cabin sole... but would really appreciate hearing from someone who's done this job.
Thanks
