Didn’t make too much progress this weekend despite putting in about 12 hours of labor. So many small things take a ton of time.
I finished all of the dry fitting l, prepped the frames and epoxied the three sections where the stanchions weren’t well bedded and got into the frames. Since these will be through bolted and backed I mostly needed to fill the voids and ensure no further deterioration.
I also decided to patch that small section of rot on the back of the Pilothouse. It turned out to be about 12” x 4” so I’m just dealing with it now.
Travel this week means no weeknight progress but next week should be when I screw and glue the plywood down.
