so much for following instructions.......

based on the instructions so far, this section will not fit together!! their own picture shows the portholes set on top of decking strakes, yet having done this, as you can see, the upper most deck is not going sit flush on the timbers, so im going to have to do some reseating of port holes before I can continue. (and I think that middle right porthole will need reposition too! think it drooped during gluing)
