Well, the other dinette bench is gone and I’m now ready to finish laying in the Allure.
I found something interesting entombed behind the back of the dinette and the wall. It was completely inaccessible:
mess of wires
There was absolutely no way to access those wires other than by destroying the dinette. One would think they are important… I was very, very, very careful cutting away the carpet.
For this area, my vague plan is to have the furnace duct follow its old path along the wall and behind the captain’s chair by building a tunnel for it, and then mounting my little bookcase on top of the tunnel, but nothing’s set in stone yet.
With only the counter and the bookcase in the lounge, the space feels huge!
