Christmas Looms....

22-12-07


As Christmas approaches the guys are off on holidays. This means that any heavy lifting like the side sheets is out of the question. However, I did keep lots to do for this period.
Today I managed to fit the frame stiffeners to 5 frames for the roof of the saloon (floor of flybridge)



Bending here is simply bent over the knee, scientific NO accurate YES!


After that I also managed to work late and get the 3 frames of the engine room floor fitted with their backing strip. As these are in 3 pieces each they were time consuming but not too hard.
These are finished welded and cleaned.


Fantastic workshop. Mercedes Atego 7.5 ton lorry.
Its dry, level floor and can park right beside the boat as the welder lives under covers at night.
Good working height and easy to clamp to.

Yes to those that know!! and were about to say .. the batteries are disconnected...


As such I am still hoping to get the side sheets on over the holidays. I couldn't get a front loader over the holidays, I am hoping for a load of friends to come some day.

In other news.... soon we will have live streaming courtesy of my friend Chris.
We have Cablesurf Broadband so it will be really good.
once we have it working I will put a link at the top.
