Not a great day weather wise.... rain....drizzle......more rain....
But as Lisa and Roger are away I have been scheduled for a bit of alteration work in their cabin.
First just a few bits of simple boatbuilding fit a few vents then re-fasten a hand rail. This was all quite straight forward. then i had to trim off a piece of timber next to Roger's side of he bunk....he complained it digs into his shoulder. But the final jub was to take down the headlining and see where a small leak was coming from....
Now any boatbuilder will tell you that headlinings are one of the most hated jobs on boats. You are upside down and normally working in strange positions with everything falling on you! and this job was no exception. Part of the linings had been taken down before and they were quite simple, apart from the fact they were made of hardboard!!! But the rest of them (3/4) were still original (hardboard too) and had been nailed into place on battens that had been nailed to the beams and had trims round them that had been nailed on top....
So out with the crowbar.........
Yes they all came down eventually. Now all we have to do is wait for the guys to come back to make a decision on what they want to go back up. We might even fit a bit of insulation in first...
After a shower to wash off all the dust! went for a quick walk (during the only gap in the weather) and then did a bit of Gourmet cooking..... Baked fennel and spicy sausages with rice and salad......mmmmmm
