The original design of the port side at galley level had a very small head and a full size refrigerator
as seen in the picture below.



Susan and I decided to make the head bigger and we will put an undercounter refrigerator in the galley
with an additional unit if needed to be located in the forward storage area.

So I removed the window because it's size didn't allow me to bring the head ceiling height across to the
end of the main salon. In order to install new 3/4" plywood to make the window opening smaller I first
cut out about 3" of existing plywood around the area where the new stock would be installed. Here's
a couple of pictures of the cut detail.
(This is the Starboard window, but it's the same detail as what I did on the port side)





I then mixed up a runny paste of epoxy resin which was poured in to any areas where the exterior
fiberglass was not bonded to the plywood. Once it was all gooped up good with the paste I clamped
the fiberglass tightly to the existing plywood.



Once cured I cut a piece of plywood to go in the opening.



Another batch of epoxy paste was applied to the surfaces to be bonded and the piece was clamped
and screwed in place to cure.





So with the new openings complete I can now continue the insulation and beadboard installation.

I'll do another entry with the latest pictures of that after I grab another beer.

Hang to the riggins!!!
