23rd January 2011

Having access to the boat in daylight, it's time to do an audit of the woodpile. Steady... Sadly, some of the maple ply has got weather stained despite being under the tarpaulin. Worst affected is the 18mm sheet I had earmarked for the oven housing, with one side being completely knackered. Wouldn't you know it's the outward facing side, too. Hey ho. I take it in and cut it to profile anyway, as then I've got a good template for when I procure some replacement sheets. Of which I'll need two now. Damn. Other bits I get done, are to fix the door onto the bedroom cupboard (because I found some hinges while tidying up - they've been out of stock at Screwfix on my last two trips), and I also cut out a panel to house the washing machine. But, although I've allowed quite a bit of spare I've still not allowed quite enough to cater for how not-vertical the kitchen/bedroom bulkhead is. Damn #2.

Half an oven housing. Sort of.

Cupboard nearly finished
