Getting Back to the Build

It's been... forever. Summer happens fast, and I've been busier than I ever have. Summer is an amazing time of the year in the Northeast US, as you suddenly find a plethora of outdoor activities to draw yourself into. I've been kayaking once or twice a week, mountain biking other days and otherwise grilling and chilling.

My networking and systems admin job is also busy for the summer, and all of this draws time away from building anything, but I carved some time away tonight. I've had two days of heavy work, and I just had to get away from LCD screens for a while.

I dusted off the tape measure and hand saw and cut insulation for the teardrop. It felt great.

In the first photo, I added the EPS to the angled portion of the headliner. The second photo shows the insulation along the sides of the fan frame and the section aft of that. Note that the left section is still bare to allow for the lighting that I'll install and work the insulation around that. The bare section directly to the right of the the right-most insulated region will host lighting fixtures as well.

The third photo is just a vanity shot in the shop. Kayko, the cat and my shop buddy passed on recently, and there was some level of acceptance by cleaning and organizing the shop a few weeks after. In respect, here's a photo of good 'ol Kayko:

The next step is to order my lighting and build the supports, fill the insulation around that and just build, build and build. But RIP Kayko, I miss her out here.
