hatch latch and ceiling liner

Ben ordered some latches a friend told us about to hold the hatch down while driving. the work great (so far)! 



We want to insulate the ceiling. So we have this foam insulation and decided to try and cover with some padding and fabric to create an upholstered headboard like ceiling. 


we cut several slits in the foam (careful to not puncture the plastic on the other side) to allow for curving onto the ceiling. 

Wrapped with the padding and fabric (glued together with regular fabric glue) 

And glued to the ceiling with this stuff.




cross your fingers it will hold to metal!



Oh and here is Ben cutting a scrap of aluminum to create our backsplash in the galley :)

Galley pics soon!
