The work schedule spans several days, with the crew coordinating tasks to meet a deadline for reassembling the cabin.0:29 Beyond the cabin, the crew addresses minor maintenance in the engine bay and experiments with painting sections of the galley. The project highlights the efficiency of using 2.5-liter paint cans for multiple interior areas, including the stairs and companionway.
