| Tuesday, October 27, 2009 I made up some simple measured drawings of the water and waste tanks, and sent them off to a local company for a quotation (which I received later in the morning). With that task complete for now, I washed and sanded the tabbing inside the icebox assembly, and sanded the various outside corners of the box to prepare them for tabbing. Then, I cleaned up, cut sections of 6" tabbing to fit, and fiberglassed the one remaining seam on the inside of the box, and all the external seams. |

I installed an epoxy fillet on the forward side of the new head bulkhead in preparation for tabbing; I had hoped to install the tabbing later in the day, and managed to get all the pieces cut, but two separate unrelated appointments during the day ate up much of the available time, and I didn't have a chance to get to the fiberglass, unfortunately. |

I did some layout work in the galley so I could locate a sub-bulkhead to define the forward end of the icebox. With the galley sink on hand, and the measurements from the icebox and insulation, I worked out where the bulkhead needed to be; as usual (and not unexpectedly), there was little extra room to spare, so it was important that I tried to think of everything first. With the location set, I made a cardboard template of the shape, and prepared to cut it out of plywood for installation, but my afternoon appointment intervened and I wasn't able to get back to the bulkhead this day. |
