Wednesday working

As the rain has been pouring down today, I have set to sawing up the left over beech ply from our entrance hatch. We had our side doors welded during summer and since painting with primer we haven't got any further. The plan is to line the steel doors with the ply and finish with beading.

So this is how they look at the moment...


And I had this heavy lump of wood to saw through...


These are the four pieces cut up. Next I need to sand them down (a planer would come in handy here). It's dark now and the fire is on so I'll leave this job for another day.


Living aboard our boat, I do find that there is always something to do, collect coal/wood, get to a water point and fill up with water, pump out in a marina, move the boat, sweep the leaves off, clear the stern deck channels (like guttering on a house), run the gennie and charge every thing up, turn the stern gland, mop the outside, clean out the burner and tend to the fire, see to the oil in the engine and gennie - change when necessary, find a rubbish point and ditch the black bag, get rid of the many spiders, etc, etc. And I wouldn't change a thing! (Well maybe the pump out.)
