Galley Port Bulkhead and first piece of Sun Deck

This is work that I did over the last month and Half. The work was very sporadic because I kept getting called away to my moonlighting job... So I was not keeping the blog up to date.
The first step was to build new piece of the port side cabin side to replace the door opening and rotted existing one.


So here it is viewed from the inside. Part of the new cabin side actually goes all the way down to the main salon deck level where it forms part of the propane locker that is located under the stairs going up from the side deck to the Sun Deck. That is the dark area behind the bucket. To the right of that it only goes down to the side deck level like the old one did. To the left or just aft of it is the opening into the propane locker that forms part of the storage area. That is under the back dead corner in the galley cabinets. More on that later.


Here is a shot from outside. I re-used pieces of the original glass work, glassing them together to form the new wall. No sense in throwing away good glass work to turn around and have to lay up and finish new glass work...
It looks a little rough now but the pieces are all level with each other I just need to sand and paint it over again.

You can see the inboard side of the stir support and the forward partition of the propane locker.

Just above that is the first little piece of the Sun Deck. You can also see the first of the 3 panels that will make up the Sun Deck.

This turned out to be a much more complicated little area than I had realized it would be.
