Stern – Guilty feeling

27th January 2021 – Having done nothing was not a good feeling. I went aboard the Stern, gave a second coat of green paint on the wall and painted a part of the bedroom. I took away two heavy toolboxes and put them in my car since I have no other place to store them at the moment. Everything is now ready for tomorrow.

Stern – Finishing the woodwork in the toilet

20th January 2021 – I started building a wall with insulation where the old toilet was. It took me some time but it worked out fine in the end. Then I extended the last electricity wires and finished the cupboard in the living room. At the end of the  evening I gave the new wood a first coat of paint including the parts I hadn’t done before. Some parts got a second coat, the ones where I will put some tiles…

Stern – Removing the old toilet

19th January 2021 – What had to be an easy job turns out in a small nightmare. I had to buy a hull skin fitting, then I had to buy the right drill and in the end the hole was made. When I removed the old toilet, which was totally dry, I wanted to seal the old hoses. I sprayed foam into them. It came out straight away including a lot of water. So there is still water in the old pipes. I hoovered out as much as I could, and I will go shopping again tomorrow to find the right fitting to seal them… A wasted afternoon and now a worrying evening!

Stern – Port side

9th December 2020 – In the morning I went shopping for Tordino, in the afternoon I worked on the port side of the Stern, making the join between the top and bottom bit. Having other things on my mind, concentration was an issue.  At the end of the evening, I managed to have something done. It is far from finished, but I know where I will end.
