Slow progress 2

From the more-of-the-same department another weekend of minor accomplishments. The weather wasn't up to much, so it was inside jobs only. The river was running fast and for a few hours rose by about a foot, which made getting off or on tricky.

One job I was keen to do was to get some paint on the rear door, as this was just bare wood and a winter in the elements wasn't going to help it. The door was able to be painted inside which was good, I still need to paint the topcoat of maroon on the bottom section, but it doesn't look to bad as it is, at night.

We had a new bed arrive during the week, so I assembled it in time for Mary to get the flu. This meant that Mary spent most of the weekend skiving tucked up warm watching chick flicks.

I did manage to do some electrical stuff, I placed most of the main components on the board in the 'electric space' where the old ballast tank used to be.

Mary was impressed by the bauhaus-like layout, i didn;t tell her that it'll be the cabling up thats the tricky bit.

I also installed the first of my old ships lights that I collected last winter. I may well have purchased too many of these, but ebay can take them back if we don't needed.

Just need to get the permanent wiring to it now.

Hope that Mary is feeling better now and that you don't catch it (I know that men always get any illness 10x worse!!!!).
Keep going! All those minor jobs add up to lots of work done. Fran x

Hi Fran,

Thanks for the words of encouragement, Mary is feeling better now (I'm not though....) and she is wondering if maybe lying in bed watching re-runs of Sex and the City could be the new way to approach boat work. :)
