Engine box building

      I didn't get a very early start on the boat today, plus it is getting dark so early that it really makes it hard to spend much time out there.  I got a pretty satisfying amount done today though.  To start my day I bottled about 6 gallons of beer I brewed.  Now I just have to wait for it to finish.  When that was done I decided to do some boat work.  I cut out some plywood to the shapes I needed, purposely cutting them a little large.  It is much easier to cut or sand them down a bit then having to start over.  I got them fit in to place one at a time and marked where I need to cut off a little bit more.  Because of the little bit of overhang I had to do them one at a time.  The piece on the side was the hardest because of its strange shape. 

    I also marked out and started cutting out the part of the port side settee that was under the old ice box to give myself a little bit more room in the new one.  I didn't get the hole done though because I broke my bit.  Time for another trip to Home Depot it seems.
