 Interior Trim work around the  interior. have a problem to mount "corner trim on the bottom on the cabin top to deck connections due to i have no corner trim pieces and they are pretty expensive (like $40 per 5')  However i have ton of teak planks 3/4" to 1/4", so i can use two pieces. Actually it will be easier to follow corner shape with two planks than solid corner. Place where they are.   To add planks (blocks) on the back side of the cabin top internal wall skin to be able to screw trim piece from the bottom.

  Refrigerator Tided up refrigerator compressor area   Temporary solution to make air circulation around condenser better.

To fill the gap I temporary mounted plywood planks wrapped in waxed paper. gap filled with epoxy thickened with chopped glass fibers, adhesive filler (404) and colloidal silica. Waxed paper gets out easy Frame  support built and ready to install the trimming frame. Frame installed back. Dry fit the frame around companionway. Sanded and per-installed front hatch trim Just plus diameter And now... sanding all primed surfaces to prepare for painting.  Plywood surface primed to be solid color painted. smooth surface feels like plastic ;) All sesanded (all what i can do with random orbital sander)
