Cabin Overhead

Finally ... This week I've started grinding the main cabin overhead, fitting, and gluing in the polystyrene insulation.  Looks cool to have the overhead starting to take shape.  It's a really dusty dirty job grinding the fiberglass so the glue will stick properly.
As I work the overhead I'm glassing in the backing plates for the cabin top safety rail.  No water's going to leak down bolts and make the cabin damp.
Pictures to follow tomorrow.    .....  Here you go.  Pictures for all of you who are not here watching me .... oh ya, that would be everyone.
11/09 .... Finally, finished glassing in the cabin top safety rail stantion bases .... 16 of them.  If I can keep the rain out I should be able to keep the sea out.

    Oooh, the overhead is looking good now! Beautiful curved ceiling to go with the curve of the doorway. Sorry, I forget the proper nautical terminology.
    So, what happens when you need to unbolt and fix or replace one of those stanchions? Just curious. Glad to know your boat will be dry inside, tho. :-)
