Galley and teak

Gally
The galley is done and it looks nice. I took another truckload of teak out of the boat, mostly off the starboard side.
The upper hand rails were also removed. Both inner and outer rails are attached thru the deck with very long screws, these were a pain to remove, This is also the main source of cabin leaks. I was expecting the windows to be the problem but this is not the case they are tight and I will not remove the outer shell but just the inner. I did not get the other side off because my battery on the drill kept running dry. The hatches were also removed and will be overhauled. This I plan to document, there is a bit of work involved with these . I have a problem with the Head door It cant be removed because when they built the boat this was all preassembled before the deck was put on. Two options cut the lower hinge pin and try to pull it that way. Cut the hinge off and replace all three or work the door while still on the boat in very tight quarters, we will see. For now enough work is in the back of the truck.
