We've taken a week off work. It's a bus man's holiday though as we're insulating the last five metres of the hold. Here the pins for the insulation are stuck to the hull and Claudia is greasing the steel before we wrap it up in Rockwool, glass blanket and aluminium.

Link fixed

Thanks to eagle-eyed Don who spotted the missing 'g' in the link to our website in the right hand column. I'm working on the reward, don't make plans for November 14th.

As you can see [and read in Dutch] on their website, Eddie and Marja have hung the doors on the Dankbaarheid's cabin [roef].
These bits of wood on our workbench are what remains of the sliding hatch over the doors. It will slide on two wooden runners bolted to the steel flanges on the roof.
Claudia has made up the runners and a frame to ensure that they go on straight, and has drawn up the front and side elvation of the hatch.
Start up the thickness planer.
