do you use the space behind the settee backs for any kind of storage or anything. looks like an inviting space to hang out.

Well, past few days, slow and steady.

Today I laminated two of the heating system closets 3 panels.

Yesterday, I finished up the settee lockers.

Tomorrow, I may laminate another panel for the heating closet.

Not much for pictures. My back is ?better?, but still weird. It has a facet joint that clicks or shifts if I overarch and I can stop the horrible cramping that takes me to the ground in pain if I do that movement. It goes away if the back is loose.

In other news, my father is not well. He had blood removed from his lung last week and os seeing a pulmonologist on Monday. There might be some old man cancer out to get him. He is 88.

Hope your back gets better, as much as it can. Wishing the best for your dad. Getting old is not for wimps.

Not sure why it copied my old post, but it did.

I also exchanged the battery and propane lockers and it was a decent move. I am always worried about more weight aft, but for now it makes more sense. And at least the weight is to port to offset star excesses. I actually might be forward of the center of mass even.

I had to get different propane tanks that are narrower and ate some costs there. We had a couple days close to 40 and I painted where the conduits go and cut another hole into the now battery box for the wiring to the port side and over to the console. Once I get the pipes all dryfit, I am going to seal the plywood with cold weather epoxy and then install the consuits with the Aripeka Angler advised Black Mamba glue which actually comes in white.

I can fit four group 27 deep cells in the box as built. If I get 80ah each; that is 300+. Plenty as we have propane stove and diesel heating. If we move to Texas; we might need air. Told Mrs Fall; her next husband could add that.

Well, a couple of no boat work days followed by my lower back crapping out today, but Jake n Ray helped us get a panel built.

Jake has the Covid haircut, which is no haircut since Covid started.

This panel will complete the closet kitting. I will leave the part to cure tomorrow and rest the back and maybe hoping for Thursday for assembling the closet in the cabin.
