Month: July 2023

29th July 2023 – I bought plywood for the front of the ship. I’m storing it in the workshop until the end of the tourist season.

I removed some shelves and some personal stuff from the Watergeus. I’m slowly getting there. Emptying 15m2 is obviously not so easy…. Behind every pile of stuff, there is some more stuff coming up. Now I found some chain. Will be useful for the anchor of my little boat. So you see, never throw anything away. Is always useful.

In the afternoon, I mounted the shelves in the workshop. They will be used for spare parts of the Volvo Engine and other tools from Tordino.

27th July 2023 – In between scanning, I went to Tordino for putting the books at the right place. I will be happy when I can start doing the conversion to gain some more space…

In the meantime, and since it is raining so badly, I started on a separate website for the Library.

26th July 2023 – Another evening of working for the Library of Tordino.

24th July 2023 – If I ask myself where I spent most time this year, it will be behind my laptop and scanners.

23rd July 2023 – In the afternoon I removed some more stuff like spare computers and tools. I slightly see some space becoming empty.

In the Library, I added another set of shelves for my books. I had one left at home, so I installed it. It gives me some more expansion space to add books before I start the conversion in September.

I added a rack in the office space to put the stuff that is now stored in boxes. One day, I will be organized…

In the evening I continued scanning, around 125 book covers are scanned so far.

22nd July 2023 – Another conversion of Tordino is being prepared. The front of the ship is a workshop and storage space. It will become an extension of the library. Therefore it needs to be empty first… I filled my care and barely noticed something was gone…

21st July 2023 – I spent most of the day scanning book covers and adding them to the inventory…

20th July 2023 – We had the chance to get over 400 books for our library. My car was over it’s maximum capacity, but we made it safely back home. All book covers will now be scanned before the books are available in our Library.

16th July 2023 – While scanning books and documents aboard Tordino, I had a few enthusiastic people. One of them restored a small Dutch barge for loading sand. It is now in a fully working condition. Very impressive to see! He gave me two books he wrote. They are a nice and very welcome addition to the library.

9th July 2023 – While the museum was open I added some nice objects like a few bronze construction plates…
