20th April 2020 – Since I couldn’t find the oil for the wheelhouse in the Watergeus, I had a look in Tordino. Everyhting was fine, but even here I couldn’t find it. At the end it was at my parents place…
Month: April 2020 - page 2
20th April 2020 – I started sanding down the wheelhouse. Just the back panel. The rest is for another day since it took me hours to find the oil and the sanding paper.
19th April 2020 – I fixed an issue with the wheelhouse door. This door was badly damaged a few years ago. I welded a frame and mounted it against the door. It is the cheapest option at the moment.
The stairs to the wheelhouse were sanded down and I cleaned the deck, so it is ready for painting tomorrow.
In the evening, I did a bit of woodwork in the wheelhouse.
17th April 2020 – I received an email with pictures from one of the previous owners of the Stern. The ship was called Paulien. It is nice to get some closer to the history if the vessel.
Can’t wait to move her and start working on her.
17th April 2020 – I got myself a new table for on deck. People gave it away for free. We are really living in a consumerism society. There is nothing wrong with the table. At least, I’m happy. It is a proper table where you can easily sit with four people.
I got a little further in covering the cables in the wheelhouse.
16th April 2020 – Since I’m back from the yard, one year and a halve ago, I filled up the wheelhouse and never got to it to clean it. I started sorting out my tool and equipment.
I built new supports for around the windows. They are also covering some cables I had to mount for the last survey.
15th April 2020 – While I’m still not allowed to go to Ghent, I started welding a frame for the skylight that arrived last week. It took me a few hours, but I’m happy with the result.
15th April 2020 – While welding some pieces for the Stern, I also repaired the bracket on the lightbox for Tordino.
14th April 2020 – I had to drive back to Tordino since I received no signal. One of the antennas felt down. Once it was fixed, I had signal again.
13th April 2020 – I quickly went to Tordino since I got a message of power failure. The neighbour had changed some fuses in his ship.
13th April 2020 – I started filling up the workshop. The cupboard painting wasn’t a success, so I had to sand down the first bit. I’ll oil when I have some oil.
12th April 2020 – It is Easter, but a day like any other at the moment. I started with finishing the floor, painting it and then patching the deck with some paint. I finished in the evening with painting the first part of a cupboard for my workshop.
11th April 2020 – I went to see my friends in Oudenburg. I cycled with all the corona checks on the road. It was a good cycle. Cycling back in the evening was harder.
10th April 2020 – I started building the floor in the workshop. I have to do it in multiple times since I have to much stuff stored.
9th April 2020 – I gave a second coat of paint in the workshop. Late in the evening, I started mounting equipment and tool boxes on the wall. Still a long way to go.
At the end of the day I mounted some paintings on the wall in the living room.
