Overhead Work SUCKS!! (MJ Sailing - Ep 334)
Temperatures are scorching, and we're inside covered in a paste of sweat and sanding dust. Work goes hard on the cabin top with hopes to get it primed in the next few days.
This week has had record breaking heat, making it impossible to tackle some crucial laminating projects. However, we’re not letting the heat slow us down! We’ve been focusing on sanding and fairing with determination. We're prepping the helm station and cockpit steps for their first coat of high-build primer. Of course, we’re aiming to prime as many areas as possible in one go. The V-berth and the underside of the cabin top around the deck are also in need of high-build primer.
Working in the V-berth is a challenge on its own. After a winter storm forced us to relocate 60% of our stored items into the boat, the V-berth has been a storage area for the past six months. My current mission is to clear it out, clean it up, and make the final touches to get it ready for primer. Meanwhile, Matt is perfecting the steps and helm storage by routing the edges. We weren’t satisfied with the radius of the steps compared to the smaller radius of the storage unit, so we're re-filling and routing the steps to match.
On the outside of the boat, I’m smoothing out the inside and outside edges of the cabin top to ensure all transition points are flawless. Although it’s not the most strenuous task, spending most of the day with my arms above my head and my neck craned up is definitely uncomfortable.
We had hoped to be applying primer by the end of the week, but a rainy day set us back. Minor delays are nothing new to us, so stay tuned for next week’s episode where we transform these areas!
We hope you enjoy!
