Big freeze on its way




I thought we were going to get away with not draining the DAF 575 this winter.
Afraid not; with forecasts for minus 8, 9 and 10 later on next week I spent an hour in the engine room with spanners and a screwdriver. Now we're ready.

More drawers




I've lost count of how many drawers we've made in the last six months.
I'm sure Kroon, who supply the Hettich runners, could tell me though.

I couldn't 've done it alone




Imke sands that little spot half way up the door that I must have missed.

Follow that kitchen




I loaded the car with tools and set off early this morning, heading West towards Zaandam where Dankbaarheid is now moored and where I could find the last kitchen, fit the drawers and hang the doors.

Non-slip bathroom




Final bit of painting done in the bathroom with a non slip area on the shower floor. ( No it's not; I'd forgotten the doors. Oh well :)

Tide is high




Heavy rains have left the water level in the Hoendiep higher than we have ever seen it before. The mooring piles get shorter every day.
