Mary and I were only up at Misterton for saturday last week, but we managed to get the last of the interior rip-out done. In contrast to the rest of the construction, the ceiling in the living area was screwed, glued and nailed in place. It took all day, and the use of two crowbars, a lump hammer and a shovel (!) to prise them all loose. All the while rust and fibreglass dust rained gently down upon us.

Now we just need to scrape all the loose rust off and treat it. Alan's team are busy welding up all the holes that have appeared after needle gunning the decks clean. We had a little chuckle when we thought back to how we planned to bring Misterton down to London this summer, how optimistic were we?

After we finished and got cleaned up as best we could, we had a BBQ on the front deck while the sun set, quite a nice way to end what had been a pretty hard days work.

Right now we're re-evaluating our proposed interior design in light of the fact that there is nothing left of the old fitout to work around, apart from the Stanley range, and even that can be moved if needed.
