Spent the weekend in LA with Carol. We visited the Museum of Jurassic Technology. Quite interesting, but you need to judge for yourself.

I'm feeling like I'm on the home stretch with the aft cabin. The inside of the hanging locker needs only the closet rod installed to be finished. After that, a few pieces of trim here and there and the rest is refinishing existing woodwork. The new oil lamps for the vanity finally arrived, and it was a treat to see them mounted. As soon as I clear out the berths, I'll try to find someone to make cushions for them.

The weather was a good metaphor for the boat work this week: several delightfully warm and sunny days were followed by dark clouds and rain coming in at the end of the week.
The teak trim around the doghouse was completed with the removal of the masking tape and things have been coming along nicely with the vanity and aft head. They are both nearing completion and looking good. In addition, I had a nice weekend in LA with Carol. On the way back, I stopped at H & L Marine Woodworking to get some molding and teak plywood. Much to my dismay, I learned they are planning to close down soon as the owner passed away. That would be a real loss because there is no other source like it.
At the end of the week, when the rain forced me to abandon varnishing, I decided to take it as an omen that I should revisit my problem water pumps. While everything I did went well, six hours and twenty-five dollars later, the pumps still didn't work. And my back hurts. A very frustrating way to end the week.

Unusually low temperatures this week created some extra challenges. I had to take measures to warm adhesives and coatings to get them into their usable range. My little electric heater went into the aft cabin so it would be warm enough for things to cure properly, and my little fireplace wasn't quite up to keeping the main cabin warm on its own with the dorade vents open and the overhead just bare fiberglass. Nonetheless, it was a good productive week: got a lot done with good results.
