Järnmönja and cockpit structure

I came back the same evening to start installing cockpit support beams. I need to do that before painting the bilge and before the engine is lifted back into this place.

Thick bedding with Farm 100 should hopefully make the screwed joint between beams and cockpit walls sealed from rainwater. Originally the old beams were glued with Sika-like adhesive. While removing these old rotten beams inevitably the wood around got disturbed. With Farm sealing I will avoid that problem if I ever want to uninstall the new beams. And I already know I will do that in couple of years!

The night after I vacuumed the entire boat and moved on to paint the engine room bilge and walls with järnmönja. It will take some time to fully cure but with current temperatures it should take no longer than a couple of days.
