Hatch, Storm Prep

We managed a little more progress on the hatch before turning our attention to storm preparations.


Above is the detail of the rib connecting to the top of the hatch.  Note that the rib has been rabbeted to accept the beadboard and the 1/8" Baltic Birch plywood cover, while the top of the hatch is built up from two pieces to provide a similar detail.

Below see a sample of the beadboard fitting into the notch. 


Note that no permanent assembly has occurred in these shots, and some fitting remains to be done.

Meanwhile, Hurricane Sandy was approaching, and given that our area is scheduled to receive 90+ mph winds, we decided to remove the cover from the "party tent" that had been covering the trailer, and to cover the trailer separately.


It seems so bare without the tent.  Also, with the tent cover removed, the trailer itself seemed suddenly much smaller.

Wish us well - and recognize that it will take some time to get back to work after the storm passes, assuming the presence of electricity.
