IMPROVEMENTS WITH FAINT PRAISE…

Along with a friend from up-country, Tim Hunt, we have put new decking down on two more pontoons.  We even had enough sun yesterday for T-shirts.  The anti slip strips are to follow once it stops raining!  There are a couple of cleats missing because we had to cut the bolts off.  These will be put back asap.  The old decking is being used to re-line the inside of the corrugated shed.  I proudly showed off my work to my daughter Nancy yesterday – I have lined the walls and ceiling with insulation panels and have started to put the old decking on top of that.  

All she said was:  “Wow Dad.  You’ve put everything in jam jars.”  Not quite what I was expecting!

    The top two outside picnic tables have been “levelled” – so now while EVERYTHING looks mis-aligned – floor, tables, wall, roof – at least your glass of wine won’t fall over. And a cage has been put around the gas bottles to make us super-douper compliant.  Metal sides and a roof are to be added.
