| Same
beam jig as for the trunk cabin. This time instead of using
screws in the beams I used 3.25 inch stainless steel ringshank nails.
(I already had them.) Click on any image to see a larger image. Click on the back button to return to this page. |  |
 | Back wall of the main cabin |
| Jig for wall panels. Instead of carrying a full sheet and setting it in place I used a jig to cut the angle and length. |  |
 | Auditioning first wall |
| Starboard wall up and framed in place. |  |
 | Port and Starboard walls up. I fiberglassed the panels before putting them up. It is easier to fiberglass large panels on the horizontal and I did it under a tarp to block out the sun. The joints were fiberglassed in place. |
| Beams Set |  |
 | To give some stability, the beams are supported. A screw in each one holds it all in place. |
| Stand back every once in a while to make sure it looks like you think it should. |  |
 | Roof sheathed and fiberglassed. The same blocking on the plywood edges was used as was used on the trunk cabin. Did the fiberglassing the same as the walls, just fiberglassing the joints in place. |
| Front windows layout. |  |
 | Looks good to me. Did have one unplanned design change. Since the side walls are five degrees in, the front panels did not line up at the corner. Had to tilt the front windows back about three degrees so all panels would line up without any tweeking of the plywood. |
| Stand back again. You also need your drawing with you (profile.pdf) and be able to visualize what else is going to be build on. |  |
