A long weekend trek to San Diego for an outrigger race and the July 4th holiday conspired to reduce productivity this week.  With the teak trim in the doghouse freshly sanded and varnished, the old paint on the inner plywood side panels looked pretty shabby, so most of the week's work was devoted to restoring them:  filling, sanding, filling again, sanding, priming, sanding, priming, sanding, painting, wet-sanding and painting again.  They now have two coats of Brightside Hatteras Off-white on them, and look much better.  They need at least one more coat though.

In addition, I very methodically removed and marked the many pieces of trim I had cut and mounted to finish off the new overhead in the doghouse.  It will take some time sanding and applying many coats of varnish before they can be re-installed.
