10th April 2020 – I started building the floor in the workshop. I have to do it in multiple times since I have to much stuff stored.

9th April 2020 – I gave a second coat of paint in the workshop. Late in the evening, I started mounting equipment and tool boxes on the wall. Still a long way to go.
At the end of the day I mounted some paintings on the wall in the living room.
8th April 2020 – I managed to give the whole workshop a first coat of paint. I had to work until late in the evening, but I’m happy with the result.
7th April 2020 – I just finished the last bits and pieces in the workshop. Covering central heating pipes and building a box around the round bits of the ribs.
6th April 2020 – I was tired, had a bad night of sleep and it was busy homeworking. In the evening I did two small things, making a frame around the central heating pipes and mounting a plywood in the entrance.
The water was so clear, I could see fish swimming around my rudders.
5th April 2020 – I mainly finished the t&g in the workshop in the morning. Most of the afternoon was spent painting with primer. It is now all looking white, making the room bigger.
4th April 2020 – With the wood that was delivered yesterday, I continued working in the workshop. It is nice to have wood and to be able to continue working during these hard times.
I had to shorten the door again since I’m going to put in a proper floor.
1st April 2020 – My birthday, not much to do by myself. I painted the door and had a long distance drink with my neighbour. At least I had a beer for my birthday.
31st March 2020 – I cleaned the first of two light boxes for the Tordino. They are the old boxes from the Arma, wel covered in paint…
I repaired the mast. It is a temporary solution, but I hope it last until the Corona period is over and I can buy another one.
And the last job for the evening was cleaning a porthole for my front door.
30th March 2020 – I did some more painting of the t&g in the workshop. My tin of paint is empty and I couldn’t bother opening another one.
28th March 2020 – I’m getting bored with no wood left to work. My deck was a mess and I cleaned it with a high pressure cleaner, removing old paint and rust. I also cleaned the little boat and my hatches where I had been working the last couple of days to restore the light cases for Tordino.
26th March 2020 – At lunch time I put a coat of primer on the anchor from the Arma. It could dry out in the sun while I continued working from home.
After work, I salvaged my neighbours little boat. I can’t remember how many times it sank before, but now it is broken. After the last stom, it got caught between the big barge and land. It is very doubtful if I can repair it.
While water was running out the small boat, I gave a first coat of paint on the anchor and on the railing of the Watergeus.
In the evening I continued cleaning the other anchor.
25th March 2020 – For the last twelve years, I had some issues with my frontdoor. The hinches were bended and the door opened and closed, but not properly. It is now fixed and I finished the door as well.
Another issue was my hatch. It was in need of some paint
24th March 2020 – I started painting the workshop. I finished the ceiling with t&g before I could paint. Since I ran out of wood, the walls will have to be finished another time.
In the late evening, I chipped some rust from the big anchor. I had no energy left to take an electric tool. So I jus used a hammer.
23rd March 2020 – I finished the ceiling of the workshop. I will not have enough t&g to finish the rest of the room.
