4th April 2020 – With the wood that was delivered yesterday, I continued working in the workshop. It is nice to have wood and to be able to continue working during these hard times.
I had to shorten the door again since I’m going to put in a proper floor.
1st April 2020 – My birthday, not much to do by myself. I painted the door and had a long distance drink with my neighbour. At least I had a beer for my birthday.
31st March 2020 – I cleaned the first of two light boxes for the Tordino. They are the old boxes from the Arma, wel covered in paint…
I repaired the mast. It is a temporary solution, but I hope it last until the Corona period is over and I can buy another one.
And the last job for the evening was cleaning a porthole for my front door.
30th March 2020 – I did some more painting of the t&g in the workshop. My tin of paint is empty and I couldn’t bother opening another one.
28th March 2020 – I’m getting bored with no wood left to work. My deck was a mess and I cleaned it with a high pressure cleaner, removing old paint and rust. I also cleaned the little boat and my hatches where I had been working the last couple of days to restore the light cases for Tordino.
25th March 2020 – For the last twelve years, I had some issues with my frontdoor. The hinches were bended and the door opened and closed, but not properly. It is now fixed and I finished the door as well.
Another issue was my hatch. It was in need of some paint
24th March 2020 – I started painting the workshop. I finished the ceiling with t&g before I could paint. Since I ran out of wood, the walls will have to be finished another time.
In the late evening, I chipped some rust from the big anchor. I had no energy left to take an electric tool. So I jus used a hammer.
23rd March 2020 – I finished the ceiling of the workshop. I will not have enough t&g to finish the rest of the room.
22nd March 2020 – Another day of working with t&g in the workshop. I continued with the ceiling.
21st March 2020 – For as long as I have wood, I will continue to work in the workshop. Worked on the walls and the ceiling today.
20th March 2020 – While wathing outside, a pot of ivy was floating in the water. I grapped my boat hook and pulled it out.
13th March 2020 – I had some time left in the morning and drove to Beernem. Because of the Corona virus, the museum is closed.
12th March 2020 – I mounted the light bulbs and the brackets for the televisions in the hold. Nearly ready!
The Keersluis is locked since yesterday and will remain locked until Saturday. I have an 86 meters ship next to me.
9th March 2020 – Worked a little bit on the ceiling. I was to tired from work to do much….
8th March 2020 – Today the door was mounted between the workshop and the technical room. The wall was finished and I started working with t&g. The door is similar to the ones in the living accommodation. I always kept a spare door and now, after 12 years I can finaly use it. Never throw anything away!
