I understand that not everyone is interested in the smallest details....but I made a big step (for me) last weekend and finished the last of my framing (except the tongue box). The hatch remains as the last area to strip before the big push to sand, fiberglass, and clear coat. I'm going for exposed ribs on the inside of the hatch so the work needed to be neat. I followed the advice of the BBS and framed in place. It worked great and fits fine!!! Thanks

Looks like it might work.

Your pictures always look so neat and clean. You might get done faster if you make a mess

Oh and how are you going to keep things from freezing if you don't insulate. The Northern kids say beer freezes. :twisted:

I'm like a dyslexic "ole Mother Hubbard" ....instead of having cabinets that were bare, I'm bare of cabinets.
:lol:

Actually, all the casework is pulled out so I can locate the gas struts and put blocking in the insulated walls...still need to make the case frames and doors though.
:roll:
