12-Nov-2007: After a time without taking pictures of the work, here it is observed from the stern as they were the ironworks.

12-Nov-2007: The hull was sanded with grain 600 with roto-orbital Dewalt sander that I bought. It passed to be my favorite tool!! The only thing: that it works well and I need to do the sandpapers. Using the circles with velcro, I glue the paper of the grain wanted with contact cement. It's very cheap!!.

12-Nov-2007: General view of Sirius already sanded and ready to paint with poliuretane (in the next stage of December). It's also observed the lifelines already placed.
12-Nov-2007: I decided paint directly with epoxy resin instead of varnish. Here the navigation table with electrical panel in presentation phase (yet), the radio/MP3 player placed and the lid recently placed with their hinges.

12-Nov-2007: Everything was coated with a 3 mm cedar plywood paste with contact cement. Here observes the kitchen table, with the top of the conservator with their fittings placed (only lack the rubber).The kitchen sink remainds under de plywood that I will cut it later.

12-Nov-2007: View of furniture that surrounds the kitchen already coated and with the edge cover placed.
12-Nov-2007: Placing two water pumps (fresh water and river water) with their respectives hoses.

12-Nov-2007: Detail of trhu hull fittings, valves and hose. The largest is the discharge of kitchen sink. The smallest is the river water inlet. On it also connects the draining of the conservative (with their respective valve). Also notes the outlet of freshwater tanks towards the pump.

12-Nov-2007: Testing the floor panels. The baseboard are placed though lack paint them.

12-Nov-2007: The bathroom door already coated and presented in its place prior to put the piano hinge.

12-Nov-2007: Also the entry area and the engine compartment were coated. Except for the panel in contact with the floor, all the others can be withdrawn.
12-Nov-2007: View of furniture over kitchen also coated in cedar.

12-Nov-2007: In the sides of cabin I place high density isolant and subsequently the cedar plywood. Still lacks the finishings.

12-Nov-2007: Overview of the interior. Remain to be resolved many details of finishing!!. In this stage of the work was already bought the mast, commanded to melt the keel and under construction the rudder axis with their ironworks. When I return in December, I will meet with all these components and think seriously in transport the "Sirius" close to the river!!
