This week we finally tackle the recently discovered rotted stringers under the galley settee. In this video, we explore what is really going on under the floor/sole. We also come up with a strawman plan on how to go about replacing the rotted stringers. This video includes diagrams of the structure, video of it and my contemplation on how to resolve the issue.
After removing the rotted stringers, we determine the right wood to use, cut new ones, round them for fiberglass, and start the process of cutting the old fiberglass and preparing for the new install.
Join us in this little adventure and don’t forget to tune in next week as we either continue or finish the work. (Like most projects you never know how big it will be until you get in there)
