Tordino – Small bits and pieces

1st May 2018 – I started with filling a few small joints in the wood. Later that day, we finished the electricity and the ceiling. In the evening, I built two more tables for showing objects in the hold. I closed the day by hovering and cleaning up.

Tordino – Painting and t&g

24th April 2018 – While my parents painted the big wall in the hold, I continued with t&g. Since I didn’t had any time to go to the shop, I ran out of t&g…

 

It had to be red for the surveyor

Later that evening, I built my first frame for the show boxes.

Tordino – Corridor

23rd April 2018 – Started working in the corridor to the hold. This is one of the remaining places where I have a lot of wood work to do.

One of the remaining issues of the survey was to insulate the chimney of the heater.

Tordino – Finishing the big wall

21st April 2018 – A perfect day for working. 26°C outside, at least 40°C inside. My father was sanding down the blue paint outside while I finished the big wall of the museum entrance. My mother vanished the old accommodation in the hold and started painting in the afternoon.

 

Tordino – Letters

15th April 2018 – A friend came to help me to put the new stickers on the wheelhouse with the name and registration number. This was one of the requirements for the survey.

In the late afternoon, I continued with t&g. An never ending story….

Tordino – Cleaning the hold

14th April 2018 – Today was a cleaning up day. I cleaned most of the wood I no longer needed. I finished small bits and pieces, while my mother started putting primer on the support for the ceiling.

The last wall was insulated. I’m getting there…

Watergeus – Cleaning

7th April 2018 – After being away for one month, Watergeus needed some attention. I cleaned the remaining hatches with a high pressure cleaner. The other half was done somewhere last year. Gangways were cleaned and watertanks refilled.

In the late afternoon, I went with two neighbours on our small boat for a trip along the other boats and small canals. The start of the season!
