Since I last wrote I've had a couple of rounds of noticable progress. Dane was sick for a bit, so I didn't have my usual helper, but I muddled through.

I spent a while cutting most of the pieces for the port side window frames. Got most all of them cut, including the lap joints. Have to pick up a 2x6 to finish that up, but hopefully those are close.

Moved from that to trimming the roof at the bow end. I had left it "long". Mark the ends and the center point and a nice flexible scrap and I had a line to cut.

Used the jigsaw and have a nice curved roof front. I continue to be impressed by that tool... buy a good jigsaw, you will be amazed by the difference.

Really looks different now. I'm going to have to get used to it all over again. When I added the cabin it changed things, but this changes is all over again.

As a side note, when Melanie crawled into the hull to help out, she commented that it was the first time she had been in the boat. I was amazed. She's around out there a good bit, and I hadn't be aware she had never "come aboard". We spent a while talking about some of the interior layout and a few modifications we want to make.

Lastly I cut the floor panel for the head area. That came out fairly nice and easy.

Last, but not least, I moved to the rear of the cabin and got the panels in place to close up the rear of the cabin. I had been putting this off because I was afraid I was going to have to buy some more lumber. For whatever reason the obvious method of taking some scraps I had and using them was not clicking. I had it in my head to make it one piece, but making it two let me use some of these "scraps" and come out with some nice panels.
