| I finally hung that sliding door. I works pretty well. There was one hitch and it got better when I added some silicone spray. Might have to do a little filing. Lets see. |
Note: I did end up sanding the inner edge of the slot. Works even better now. I noticed if the door sits for awhile, it can stick initially. Maybe some lube. I removed most of it when I re-sanded.

| Most of the sole is in. I just need to finish that long access hatch. |

The sole is complete. All access panels are made and put in place. I still need to buy a few more latches but buying stuff is never that easy. Money does not come easily. That is why I make most things.
I am starting to finish what I can of the interior cabinetry. I would like to hold off on finishing the upper cabinets in the galley until I have some more of the major systems in like refrigeration and range/oven. I am getting some of the uglies hidden. I had to hack out the plywood bulkhead in order to set the inner shear strake in place. I made these black walnut covers to hide the mess. There are 18 of these of various sizes. I have finished with all of the ones that are not inside lockers or bathrooms.

I've been slowly finishing things up on the interior. Finishing some wall partitions and sanding down old epoxy seams. I think it is time to get the top ceiling in. I temporarily installed a trial section (see January) to see what it will look like. Time to buy some material. Once the ceiling is in, all the overhead electrical can be installed.
