Yet another week crossed off the calendar. I feel like I'm making good progress. A few more weeks of laying up glass and I should be done with all the structural repairs. I'm debating what to do this week. It would be cool to get the two pieces of the cabin sole I've already cut tabbed to the hull. That would mean I could start building the new settee. In turn that would mean I could make videos about something other than laying up glass ;) What would you guys like to see? :) 

Speaking off, have any of you seen plans for a pull-out settee that works well? I'm playing around with some options. My biggest concern is that I'll miss out on a bunch of storage. Perhaps someone has come up with a better idea that I'm able to :) 

In 28 days I'm heading to California to spend two weeks with Ava. My goal is to have all the structural repairs finished by then. It would be nice to be able to come back from that trip and be ready to focus on the new layout.

In other news, Jokull (my Icelandic sheepdog) had eye surgery this week. He has had an issue with this left eye for a while, and no one has been able to figure out the reason. The surgery is the first of two options - fingers crossed it works. 

I'm off to make some crepes to celebrate the new bulkhead :D Thank you so much for your support guys! I hope you've all had a spiffy weekend :D 


NB! YouTube is dragging their heels again. It's been a few hours, and so far, only the potato vision resolution seems to be available (360p). There is a 1080p version of this video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VRv85HUhgo ... If you'd rather wait for the 4K version, check back here in a few hours.

I like the curved pocket door idea -- but worry that it will be "sticky." Then again, anything done "Mads style" will be done well enough to not have any problems. Another option would be an accordion door.

Do you know what the original layout of Athena was? Someone must have altered it in the past, since the windows are split?
