Project Log: Tuesday, December 28, 2010
After spending the first half of the day clearing out
after a good-sized snowstorm, I got back to work on the
deck sanding. Over the course of a few hours, I
sanded the sidedecks, insides of the bulwarks, and the
sides of the cabin trunk--first starboard, then port.
For this round of sanding, which I'd begun before
Christmas on other parts of the boat, I used a vibrating
palm sander and 80-120 grit paper. In addition to the
machine work, this was also the time to sand all the
corners and tight areas by hand, areas that I'd not
previously sanded.
Afterwards, I sanded the foredeck, completing this round
of sanding and wrapping up the hole-filling and
deck-patching phase of the project, as well as the
exterior surface prep phase. I left things messy
for the moment, as the boat and shop would require a
good cleaning before I moved on to the next steps in the
project--something best left for a new day. |

Though I hadn't finalized any plans, I anticipated some
structural/layout changes in the cockpit, as I hoped to
close in and create storage beneath the seat areas that
had been previously covered with teak slats, and also
planned to make changes to the propane locker, which was
unsuitable as is. I'd begin this work some time
later on, but for the moment I planned to shift my focus
to the interior of the boat and begin some minor repairs
and other preparatory work there. |
