11th April 2008 – Broken! Completely exhausted. So I just decided not to work today, only to clean and sort out the administration of the house boat organization and myself.
10th April 2008 – I worked all evening on the floor, insulation and cutting a big plate of metal into pieces for scrap.
9th April 2008 – I worked all evening on the floor, insulation and the crane.
8th April 2008 – I worked all evening on the floor, insulation and the crane.
7th April 2008 – When I got back from work I decided to continue working, first a bit of cleaning the crane. When it started raining I worked inside. The rest of the floor needs finishing, so I cut insulation and placed some more wood. It doesn’t look like much has changed, still I worked another six hours. The progress is slow, but the quality is good.
It is now exactly two years that I’m the proud owner (on paper) of the Watergeus.
6th April 2008 – In the morning I cleaned my deck and a bit of the hold. Yesterday when the portholes were cut, a lot of things needed cleaning.
In the evening I bought a crane and it was loaded aboard. It needs cleaning and a lot of paint. Furthermore I need to change the current situation and weld some new supports to hold it. Since it was Sunday I decided to stop working early instead of graining and bashing with a hammer.
5th April 2008 – A hectic day today, not only did we continue with the wood and insulation, four new portholes were placed and I started working on another watertight compartment in my ship. There was a party last night, so all the noise and a heavy head didn’t made it exactly a good day. By the end of the evening, a lot of progress was made, but I had to go to another reception, this time of a nautical organization restoring old wooden ships.
4th April 2008 – Wood and insulation arrived today. Since I had to work, my parents loaded most into my ship. Some insulation went to the neighbour since I had no more space left in the hold to store and work at the same time.
2nd April 2008 – Again a day with nice weather. There is nothing more pleasant then coming home and to be able to sit outside and read a book on deck.
In the evening I decided to draw out the whole electric scheme.
31st March 2008 – This evening I went ordering wood and insulation. Since I received a good price where I always order my wood, I bought the insulation as well from them.
30th March 2008 – I continued working on my own, starting to clean the hold and ending by building the floor for the living room, bedroom and office space.
29th March 2008 – A very productive day. A carpenter came to assist me in converting the hold. Together we have managed to build the raised floor for the kitchen and bathroom.
28th March 2008 – I went to the neighbour Jan of the ship Minart to talk about the conversion that would start tomorrow. Since I’m partly going to do the work he did, using the same construction, it was not a bad idea to hear his experience.
27th March 2008 – The wood was delivered today. Sadly enough I wasn’t feeling well so my parents had to come and put the wood in the ship for me. It wasn’t much, but again very expensive. They say metal is expensive, but wood is at least as expensive.
