Front door surround and step

The front door surround, step and port bulkhead have been built.
-Since this photo was taken they have also been filled and painted as far as the undercoat.
The step is of iroko and will be fitted with a brass tread plate later after the doors are lined.

The wire protruding from the hole is where the saloon light switch will be fitted. This puts it in a convenient position to operate when entering a dark boat.
The bulkhead has been left clear at present although some shelves could be added later.

The ceiling has been painted with ivory gloss although a decision has been made to change this to eggshell.
