Construction: Week 31 - Salon Framed Out

Progress this week appears to be minimal.  I guess I was spoiled by the last two weeks when lots of stuff happened.  Here's the update.  Note: This is my interpretation of the progress prior to review with Mike.   Expect changes.

1. Aft view - No changes
There is no visible changes to the hull as viewed from the outside.  This was also true with regard to the flybridge/boat deck and hardtop structures so I did not include photos

Progress was most apparent on the interior, specifically in in the VIP, Master and salon.

2. Salon looking forward.  Framing of salon area and windows
3. Salon looking aft.  Aft deck flooring visible through door.
The two photos above shows
  • Aft deck flooring (visible through the door)
  • Window framing
  • Bulkhead for AV cabinet?
4. VIP.  Worker installing shelving with wenge trim
5. Master.  Teak veneer on bulkheads

6. Master.  Teak veneer on bulkhead, wenge veneer on end tables

7. Master looking aft.  Note the cables and wires coming out of the hanging locker to port.
Now to the engine room and lazarette.

8. Engine room looking forward.  Worker installing ceiling installation

9. Engine room looking aft.  The stainless steel engine mounts have a temporary protective cover.  Engine room lighting prior to mounting

10.  Lazarette.  Big mess (as compared to last week).  Something going on but it's hard to tell.
The fact that the stainless steel engine mounts have been protected suggests that engine installation is not imminent.  Further, it is puzzling that the salon flooring and engine room ceiling insulation are installed.  One would think that it would make sense to install the engines before hand.  That said, it is my understanding that the engine will be dropped in through the salon floor.  Stay tuned.
