All right, we are getting close. 2-3 hours of sanding and it will be all over for the inside of the boat. I was going to hang up a plastic curtain between the bulkhead and the rest of the boat. The curtain was going to be about 5 feet aft of the bulkhead, allowing me plenty of working room. Wrong! I am no longer working in my boat, I am working in our home. One that my wife has been scrubbing on for 2 weeks.My new work space had the curtain moved towards the bulkhead at least 2 feet and cut in half to the centerline of the boat. The Shopvac hose was stuck under the plastic to remove any dust falling through the air. She than duct taped me in. Getting to sound like a murder mystery. Because of the lack of air, I had to come out of the cocoon several times to re-oxygenate the space and me. This made the project become a half day affair, but it got done.By the end of the weekend, the final coats of urethane had been applied and the refinishing of the wood was complete, on the inside.
