Interior Demolition Stage 2

I received the plans for Rune from the Peabody on Monday, 1/12.

Progress to date:

• Removal of all cabin sole and sole beams.
• Remove head.
• Remove V berth
• Remove Retention tank
• Cut away bottom of head forward and aft athwart-ship bulkheads.
• Remove head door, its trim, starboard locker door, its trim, starboard base locker door, and its trim.
• Cut away bottom quarter head fore-and-aft bulkhead.
• Cut away base of forward galley stove bulkhead.
• Remove #1 battery box base.
• Uncover and remove bungs for all scheduled frames and floors. These are frames 13-29.
• Remove fasteners for alternate scheduled frames forward of centerboard trunk
• Remove fasteners for two centerboard trunk partial frames and floors.
• Remove two partial floors next to centerboard trunk, out of ten.
• Remove four bronze lateral drifts which hold the centerboard trunk in the keel.

When we removed the false keel, we found that the slot for the centerboard was so deteriorated that a huge, complicated dutchman would be needed to repair it. Because of the false keel, and because so much of the interior furniture has to be removed, the scope of the job has expanded to include:

• Replace false keel deadwood.
• Replace slot liner in false keel deadwood with GRP sheet.
• Replace all plumbing hoses, pipes and manifold with PEX system.
• Reroute the electrical lines in the bilge.
• Improve access to all bilge pockets in the head (the forward one was inaccessible).
• Realign and simplify the plumbing for the sanitary system.
• Remove the LORAN and old GPS electronics, and replace panel for navigation locker.
  
• Build retention devices for all cabin sole pieces.
