Been a minute since I posted an update here. I have been giving the painting a break, waiting for the wind to back off some. In the meantime I have been tying up a lot of loose ends.
I have been working some on the pilothouse, trying to make a dent before the heat becomes oppressive. Working out ergonomics and stuff is a bit tricky, I think what I came up with is going to work pretty well though. It seems like there is always something I ordered that I am waiting to arrive so that I can do a measurement to make sure I don't have to backtrack, so slow going.
I am also working to try to wrap up the under cockpit sole stuff, which seems endless. I have a list of about 15 things that need to get finished before I can glue in the sole, so that will be a big milestone when it happens.
I started my window order, going with Wynne (dealt with Cory, nice guy). They were almost half the cost of a local guy here who I was thinking to go with, who apparently didn't want my business or something (flaky/too busy?), so kind of glad that that worked out to make me explore other options. ETA on windows is 8 weeks.
My trailer is ready, but when the builder was delivering out here a couple weeks ago I was on a trip out at the colorado river, and a miscommunication led to him not bringing it out here. Sounds like it's another month out until they are delivering out here again, which is ok but also kind of holding me up. Oh well, how it goes sometimes I guess.
