For October the weather has been glorious. Interspersed with days of somewhat torrential rain there has been long days of almost summer like sun.

As always the list of jobs to tackle is never ending. Having got somewhat fed up of waiting for tradespeople to give quotes or commit we have decided that actually with some research we can pretty much tackle most things ourselves.

T has over the past week taken out the rotten wood trim around the boat and replaced it. He’s done such a great job you can’t even tell where he’s been! It’s a relief to get it done and know it’s protected I don’t think it would have fared well over another winter.

We’re taking a 2 pronged approach to things. While T tackles the outside I’m renovating the inside. Currently on the bottom toilet ( I know not technical boat speak ! ) It’s amazing how a bit of modernization can transform things. Definitely needed doing.

Now on a roll we’ve started on the front of the boat to get protected by winter
