Here are more pictures today of interior progress.  Richard is having a lot of fun designing and creating the interior, but not so much fun sanding and preparing some of the small pieces.  They are coming together, though.  We decided to varnish the V-berth area instead of painting it all white.  We will paint the walls white, but the rest will be natural.  The last order of plywood was much nicer looking than the first order, so that influenced our decision.  The first picture shows the V-berth area.  All the boards will have storage under them, and one (the front one with the finished board) houses the porta-potti. The board lifts out to access the potti.
The second picture shows the fuel vent and hose.  This is in the stern where the bench will be.  We have created access to all the components of the fuel system.  The US Coast Guard requires this of all newly constructed boats now.  They created this rule about 2 years ago.
The last picture shows where the porta-potti will be used.  It will be lifted out of its storage area and set where it is in the picture.  The good thing is that the forward hatch is right above it, so while you are sitting on the potti, you can look around at the scenery.  The position is a little short for tall people, so you can also stick your head out of the hatch if you want.  We raised the porta-potti position for comfort while using. 
So, things are moving right along, but it sometimes seems pretty slow with all the little parts and pieces to be made.

  1. Question: is the fuel tank going to have a gauge since it doesn't look like dipping the tank will be a reasonable option?
