I really need to get the inverter connected up, so I can run some decent power tools. I also need to get some charge into the two sets of batteries.
But, before I can connect up the inverter, I need a bulkhead to hang it on.
Before I can build the bulkhead, I need to fix the ceiling battens, so I have something to fix to.
Before I can fix the ceiling battens, I need to complete the second layer of insulation...
I also need to inject every gap between the pieces of Celotex with expanding foam, which makes a godawful mess and takes 24 hours to cure fully, so the cutting back process can't be rushed.
I've almost completed the insulation in the engine room and back cabin. This has been complicated by the fact that everything is either curved, angled or both, so every piece has to be custom-fit.
That all pretty well sums up the state of play - a whole bunch of things that are dependent on something else happening. So I've just knuckled down to the (now very tedious) job of fitting all the 12mm Celotex to the ceiling and squirting expanding foam into any gaps.
Next will be the job of applying foil tape to all the joins between the Celotex panels on the ceiling and port side. Although this is another very tedious job, it's vital, as it prevents moisture migrating through to cold steel below.
I don't deny, I will be glad to get this stage finished. Getting the pile of Celotex off the floor and onto the walls/ceilings has helped to make more room.
Hopefully, the next post will be more interesting!
