Got home about 4:30 Tuesday evening and decided to try and get SOMETHING done. So after roughing in a door cut out I cleated a 1x3 to the side walls in the front of the 4x7 and cut and installed a flat bulkhead in the nose. I think I will install a couple shallow shelves in the void later or perhaps an electronics area. It was a hammer tight fit as I slipped the 48 x 40 wall in from the top like a drawer.It was a bit of a fight but it is now glued and screwed in place. It was hot as hell and I was wringing wet so about an hour was it. I was ready for a cold one !
It always amazes me how wiggly and spindly the sides are until these side to side shear walls are added. It is rock solid in the nose now with a bit of a wiggle in the rear. I will be adding a shear panel over the cabinet out of the 7/16 fiberglass faced zip panel there also . I will then cut out openings for the little storage cabinets over our feet.
Unfortunatly all this work and it still looks like this ....
