Day 1

Washing and sanding down

Having removed most of the exterior boat fittings and equipment yesterday it was the day to give HM a good wash down prior to sanding.


Does she really need painting?


Jenny had to remind Sid to dress correctly for the sanding, which he was pleased about as the afternoon wore on and the air turned a little green.  Jenny kept him supplied with plenty of tea and ensured he didn't overdo it.  Not an easy task once he gets going.



Sanding man!

By the end of the day the roof and back were all done. A good day.

Sadly, however, we still can't get a TV signal but at least we have internet.

Jenny had a pat on her back by our friendly neighbour, Penny in the next door polytunnel.  She is having a new kitchen fitted to her boat, which is the cabin lace boat.  She makes and sells porthole and cabin lace and was very complimentary about my cabin lace and i hope to pick up a few tips from her during our time here.

More sanding tomorrow!
