With the aft stateroom fascia panels installed, I’m getting pretty close to having the Whisper Wall installer come and put in the headliner. The last few things I have to do is 1) install the final filler panels between ceiling frames at the entryway to the stateroom; 2) make a box to hide the aft head slider door hardware, and 3) do something to make the forward bulkhead in the aft stateroom pretty.
I need to remove some insulation before I can fit filler panels
The filler panels are required between the frames so the Whisper Wall tracks will have solid attachment points all the way around the room perimeter.
Every gap between the frames has too much insulation
I didn’t plan to use Whisper Wall headliner when I did the spray foam insulation
After a bit of work with a putty knife, I was ready to make the filler panels
50-year old 3/4″ plywood will make great filler panels
Good ol’ Chris Craft Doug fir plywood looks perfectly solid
Getting closer
ShopSmith bandsaw is handy for cuts like this
Nice!
And another
The last filler panel, glued and screwed in place

Looking good. That’s some nice plywood — unlike the “best” grade I recently bought at a hardware store, where the surface plies were paper-thin.
Thanks Ben!
You got that right! The old Doug fir is soooo much better than what’s available now. 1/16″ face veneers…it’s good stuff.
Cheers,

I wonder how many time you’ve said “Glued and Screwed”?– Not important though.. Just wondering..
Keep Plug’n away..
