[QUOTE="TheMaestro, post: 263879, member: 8533"] Well after a full day and a bit, the framing and the 'decking/storage' is all done. As you can see I used bluwood throughout, and I used hurricane ties with the 2x2's. The bluwood (as I siad before) is a new product, non reactive with aluminum, rot proof, bug proof, mould proof. Next step is to carpet everything. Ive been wrestling with what to do for a floor since I first was on tinboats.net. I was set to do a wood floor, but after the framing and wood deckng, I really didnt like the idea of raising my floor and trying to brace it. So change of plan, to something I saw a while back and really liked. Im going to use a 1/2inch vulcanized rubber horse stall mat. Its thick enough to give me a smooth floor, but flexible to conform to the curve of the hull. I will also glue carpet to it, givng a soft underfoot feel. Basically just like wrapping carpet on a woodply floor. The underside of the rubber is grooved so I can orient it for water to travel to the drain, plusnI can remove it if need be to clean/dry Here are the pics [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_00000129.jpg"]37889._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_00000130.jpg"]37890._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_00000131.jpg"]37891._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_00000132.jpg"]37892._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_00000133.jpg"]37893._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_00000134.jpg"]37894._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_00000135.jpg"]37895._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_00000136.jpg"]37896._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_00000137.jpg"]37897._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_00000138.jpg"]37898._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
