Last Friday we lost our power during storm Eunice here in the UK, and it wasn’t actually restored until Tuesday evening! Still, some people had to face much bigger problems (and still do), so a mere 4 days without power was actually fairly lucky with 80-90mph winds battering our coast. It still sucked though, and I now have a whole new appreciation for the simplicity of an electric kettle 
With power restored I carried on working on the lounge framework, and I’m now at the point where all the wall panel attachment points are finally in place. There’s still a bit of tidying up to do, but we’re definitely getting there:
The ribbing and cut-outs around the ceiling were quite painful to get right with all the curved geometry (barely anything is a flat surface), so it involved a bit of trial and error until I found the best approach. Next I need to tidy up the edge sections, and then fill them with the insulation material.
After that I can start placing the wall panels themselves, at which point it should start to resemble a comfortable lounge environment. I’m going to have the balcony as a bolted-on attachment rather than a moulded part of the framework, because for one it makes it easier to tweak its final position, and two I won’t need to make crazy wall panels that mould into the balcony.
Layout wise it will be similar to what we’ve had previously, with the addition of an extra corridor on the right hand side that will lead to a bathroom and storage area. On the other side there will be doors to the galley kitchen and a service hatch, both of which will be behind the bar. I’m looking forward to getting to the detail phase
