Greater Progress Still...

Having put the cables in, Steve began boarding the ceiling and positioning the lights... 

                                   

        

       
One of my projects this summer was to rescue this writing table from the engine room and restore it in some way. 

     

Now it has its base coat, I must choose a colour and paint the board.  

                                        

Another project was painting the salvaged post pigeon hole....

      

Henry was too busy looking handsome to assist...

                                    

Knowing my lack of aptitude with numbers, he prefered to cast his eye over some figures....

          

Jake delivered the stanchions last week...

      

 ...and welded them to the deck....  

         

       

      

  

     65 metres of  galvanised steel chain arrived on Tuesday.


This morning...... 

                

     

                                                                          

     Davenham adorned.

  1. Looks like your lovely Davenham is still a very sound boat as is our Weaver Packer James Jackson Grundy. We deconverted her from a Sea Scout clubship and are still running her commercially, she arrived on Sunday at Runcorn with 285 tonnes of Canadian wheat aboard. However we need something a bit bigger so if you know anyone who wants the sister ( brother?) boat James Jackson Grundy we would be interested in any offers for her. Shame for her to go for scrap as we have done a lot of work on her and she is in generally good condition. Make a lovely big houseboat like yours. Good luck, Paul.
