May has been HOT, but we knew that it would be. It's been slow going this season what with travel, cold weather, rain...you name it. The weather finally turned nice and we dug in our heels as best we could.
After the deck at dockside, we put the remaining decking that came with the property, and laid out decking around the working area of the connex. It works out well.
Next, I washed the backside and end of the connex, primed rust spots, and then painted the 2 sides hunter green. I'll do the doors and front side when we return this fall.
From this...to (see below)
While I was outside painting, Carter was inside the connex finishing up the insulation. We have been trying to clean everything up and put away and decided that there is not better place to store large items than to put them where they belong, so he got to work.
Beginning to cut the strips that go up first.
Gluing them in the 'corrugated' spaces with spray seal.
He next covered the entire corrugated wall with a full sheet and glued it down. He cobbled up some boards to hold them in place until they dried.
The last ceiling sheet is next.
He only had a small amount of paint so he used it behind his work bench.
A view of the entrance.
Looking to the back. The remaining solar panels for the starboard array are behind the plywood. Once those are installed on the boat this will free up quite a bit of storage space. He still has a couple of wall boards to put up behind the shelving above the solar panels and directly beside it. We had to load this thing full before we could actually begin the insulation so there's going to be a small bit of back tracking to completely finish.
