Day 7: Construction continues

We're edging inexorably closer to final assembly.  I've removed the middle panel, added the joints for the mast, took 1/8th off one side (accidentally making a giant gouge in the middle of the right edge), and replaced it.  We've also now glued it in place so it should be finished as soon as we nail it down.

The panels are just taped on at the moment as there's still some work to do inside the bulkheads.  I need to nail a few pieces in place, I need to caulk all the edges to give one last layer of sealant, and I need to glue the small doors on before I can put the top decking on permanantly.  All this will have to wait until tomorrow though, too tired to continue today.  (8 p.m. and I'm in bed most nights now due to how tired I am from all the hammering, bending, gluing, and moving of stuff about).

Anyway, here's the pictures:
