Update-!

Hello Chaps, Ive been meaning to update this here blog for a while but my computer has been cheeky blighter lately so I just finished fixin it. Anyways happenings: Weather is crazy, the other day it was hailing with the sun out. Its either sunny and windy, rainy and windy, or just windy. Tea is phenomenal, I dont know if I will ever not spend a day with at least one cup of earl grey with sugar and milk in it and some biscuits again. Work is going slow at the moment, were all ready to start putting up the deckhead(ceiling) which is done by first using a studwelder to weld a little threaded stud every foot on the metal roof beams, then fitting in and putting a layer of 4mm ply along the deckhead, then curving pine cladding to the curve of the boat on top of that, then laying teak beams along where the metal beams were. Should look sweet. Anyways were all rarin to go but were dealin with a bum studwelder. Other news: we get our aussie tommorow, should be a blast. Oh and I bought a second hand fiddle, try and learn how to play some ol bluegrass tunes. At the moment sounds like a cat in a cement mixer. anyways heres some pics for yah. a typical day of work haha
it was hailing in this picture
sort of what our boat should look like when done, its a schooner as well but ours will have a wooden deckhouse.
a beautiful small wooden boat thats abandoned right next to ours, if possible I really wish I could restore it as its still in decent shape. (It usually serves as our urinal sadly enough.)

Our behemoth!
