Further distractions

This week has seen further distractions with visits to the doctor and optician which meant that I didn't get a great deal done started on Monday morning by giving the engine a run to charge the battery the plan was to use a battery charger but unfortunately I had left it at home, I then spent the rest of the day having a good clean round followed by a general tidy up.

The rest of the week was spent clearing up various outstanding odds and end replacing missing screws etc and putting in some more of the hull lining which I had started some time ago but had been put aside while I got on with external work. The first part was to finish off the lining on the bookshelf at the aft end of the saloon I had cut out the overhead panel some time ago but it just needed final fitting and after searching through the pile of carpet offcuts I found just enough to complete this area.

Aft end bookshelf lining

Once the bookshelf was completed I started on preparing the starboard side of the saloon for re lining this will take a bit of effort to remove the old paint and glue residues.

Starboard side saloon

I have a sufficient carpet to cover the hull side which has already been cut to size but I will require some more for the overhead panels in this area I also need more for the forward bulkhead in the aft cabin, the hull sides in the fore cabin and the quarter berth so the next job will be to measure up and get it ordered. Oh and yes that is the sun shining on the starboard side it might have been warmer today but for the most part it has been pretty grey and miserable.
