Ama Number 2 almost done inside and Aka Progress

Last night I installed the doublers for the aka connectives in the second ama. Also, I made the deck beams and and frame for the round inspection hatch. Those will go in today - God willing and we don't freeze to death.
Time was limited but I was able to make one more piece for the akas. But there is a lot left to do. There are 8 side pieces with 7 already shaped. I had to reject one 1x6 board because it was twisted. I'll make the last side piece after buying new stock. There are 8 top/bottom pieces with 2 partially made. There are 8 end plugs with none made. There are 8 compression plugs with none made. Of course all those pieces have to be assembled into akas and then laminated with glass. My wife says I won't make it.
I need a boat trailer.
I lose my shop on Feb. 28.
Good thing a weekend is here. Sixteen to twenty hour days should go a long way toward getting her done.
