Into the Garage and Starting on the Bulkheads

In the garage!
 February has started, and so has our allocated time in the garage. The pressure is on to get the bulkheads in and get the roof on, so progress has accelerated accordingly. The first thing to get fitted and in is the lower rear bulkhead. This forms the back of the cabin at foot level, and the front of the galley cabinets. There is a small cutout on the right side to allow access to the long compartment. The bulkheads have a similar construction to the walls: 1/4" ACX, 1 1/2" pine or insulation, 1/4" baltic birch. I've been debating whether to put the second wall up, which will make fitting the rest of the bulkheads more difficult to fit, or to wait until they are all in and try to make them all coplanar and square. I've decided that the wall will go up after the first bulkhead as it is quite difficult to maneuver around the garage with it laying on the floor.
