23rd February 2011 – I replaced three windows of the Wheelhouse of the Watergeus. They were al broken when I bought here. It was now time to replace them with a decent solution. 
The toilet was tiled and the ventilator for the bathroom connected.
Two years ago, the old Scheepsdalebrug was removed. In the morning, one of the two big supports for the bridge was mounted. I took some pictures while I was working outside.
In the afternoon I continued with the bilges of the Escapde.
13th February 2011 – The back accommodation of the Watergeus is nearly finished. It is time to start thinking about curtains, paint and other coloured items. My girlfriend is the perfect person for this. She choose the colours and I must admit, I like them!
12th February 2011 – The whole morning I went shopping, or should I rather say: wait at the info desks of the shops.
In the afternoon, I finished the walls, adding a little piece of wood to hide any possible errors I made earlier during the conversion…
11th February 2011 – Again a meeting for the Vlaamse Woonschepen. It is important for the organization to continue to exist. My mother spent a whole day oiling the inside of the wheelhouse. It starts to look good!
5th February 2011 – Tiling was finished on the floor in the bathroom and toilet. The ceiling of the sitting area and the walls got their wallpaper. The shower crane was mounted and a part of the wheelhouse was sanded down. Briefly written what was done today.
29th January 2011 – I have done a lot today! In the morning we tiled the toilet, bathroom and entrance of the back accommodation on the Watergeus. In the afternoon I helped sanding the wheelhouse with my parents. Later that noon, the Frantsis left her mooring next to the Watergeus. She has her own spot now!
25th January 2011 – The last piece of multiplex for the back accommodation has been cut and mounted. Normally, no more wood work should be done in the back area.
I also started doing some basic plumbing.
24th January 2011 – I finished the ceiling and the wood around the skylight in the kitchen and sleeping room.
23th January 2011 – I ran out of multiplex again. Since I needed some more for the bed, I had to break down an old wall on my yacht to have some wood. Since it will be used underneath the tiles, I don’t mind it has already been painted with a funny brown colour.
I vanished the inside of the bed, painted the outside and finished the little toilet room. Everything is now ready for being tiled.
22nd January 2011 – I made up my mind about the little toilet space. I removed the tiles on the floor, some parts of the wall and other stuff. I now have a clean room.
Since I will put tiles around the bathroom, at the entrance and in the toilet I made a first layer of sheets of multiplex. Tiles will be glued on it.
21st January 2011 – The new wood I ordered earlier this week arrived in the morning. I finished the wall between the kitchen area and the bedroom. I did some plumbing in the afternoon.
17th January 2011 – One of the last rooms that had to be broken out was the toilet space. When I finished this little room, I disconnected the pumps in the engine room. I got stuck behind the water tanks again and decided to clean the mess around them while I was there anyway.
15th January 2011 – In the morning I went shopping, buying wallpaper and tiles to finish the back accommodation of the watergeus. In the afternoon I went to Ghent to visit some boat friends.
More important today is the article published in the newspaper De Standaard. A two page large article on my barge and myself.
7th January 2011 – After filling the little hoes between the wood panels, I started putting the sitting room at the back in primer.
4th January 2011 – The inside of the skylights were in need of new wood as well. It is a small area, but it took me a few hours to get the job done!
