I just spent 7 months with no visible
progress because I was learning about and then programming a PLC for the sub. Not that it wasn’t progress, it just wasn’t
visible. But now I’m back on the boat itself, figuring
out the interior arrangements. I just spent an evening wriggling around inside
the hull trying to figure out where to place things. Unfortunately the prone
position is uncomfortable as hell; I think it’ll be the world’s
most uncomfortable boat, I came out all bruised
because the steel wins out on every encounter. But I’ll be doing things
like putting in foot rests, leaving the vicinity of knees clear, maybe lining
the hull with rubber mat in certain areas. I hope to do my last welding within
the next two weeks and then it’ll be inspection time and ready for
painting. Maybe a year to go, there are still LOTS of details to figure out…
but this is a fun stage.
