Stern – Mounting the first window

15th October 2020 – I went shopping early in the morning, getting the right blades and some metal to make some ribs for the wheelhouse. In the evening, I cut the remaining bit for the window.

It looks so much different now. Having proper light coming in from two sides now. Two more to go.

 

Tordino – Extending the Library

9Th October 2020 – The amount of books in the Library is growing. Every year I add some more bookshelves for the Library but their is no more space. I already removed the workshop behind the library and added cupboards. Now I added some more in the Library space itself, making it even more harder for people to sit. Not a good idea during the covid-19 period, but I have no other options. 

In the afternoon the furniture was mounted while my mother continued cleaning and restoring the old models we received two months ago.

Tordino – Scanning books and magazines

4th October 2020 – Such a sad weather, I was aboard Tordino scanning the covers of books and magazines. When I had some time left, I took pictures of the objects. In the late afternoon, I cleaned my living space, started the engines and did a checkup of the ship. 

Tordino – New Items from Groningen

2nd October 2020 – The Scheepvaartmuseum in Groningen is changing courses and they are removing some items from their collection. I had the chance to pick up some items in Leeuwarden.  On the way back I had some issues with the car, which made me choose to drive straight home instead of taking pictures in the villages around Leeuwarden.
