Project Log:  Sunday, January 8, 2012 
						 
						I didn't feel like getting going on anything 
						significant. My next major direction was likely to be 
						the work leading up to the engine installation, but I 
						wasn't ready to start that till I'd obtained the 
						materials needed for the work, and anyway, the first 
						step would be some additional grinder work in the engine 
						room that I just didn't feel like doing now.  So I 
						took care of a few small and random details instead. 
						 
						First, I removed all the clamps and braces securing the 
						new paneling in the pilothouse. | 
					 
					
						 
						
						  | 
					 
					
						 
						I removed all the temporary screws I'd used to hold the 
						overhead cleats in place during their installation. | 
					 
					
						 
						
						  | 
					 
					
						 
						Portions of the interior were ready for trim whenever 
						the spirit moved me, so I made a series of measurements 
						and listed the basic trim I'd need to mill up and 
						prepare. |

						The head space was an area I'd not thought much about, 
						as it was self-defined and my plans for the space were 
						straightforward.  Since it was unlikely that I'd 
						turn my efforts towards the head anytime soon, I decided 
						to turn it into an quasi storage room; I'd already been 
						using the space for some of the miscellany I was keeping 
						on board.  I'd been using the forward cabin for 
						tool storage, but I planned to soon begin additional 
						work up there, so felt it was best to clear out the 
						clutter sooner than later. 
						 
						To that end, I installed some temporary shelves in the 
						head using basic metal shelf brackets, all of which I'd 
						remove later. |
