Hi Mike
The photos of work in progress are of the work in progress and show a very disorganised situation but I will put them up as I find them..I take heaps of photos so it will take some time...however here is me in the hamock and one from the hamock looking towards the dam which I have handy because I sent these to a friend r cently...and one of the bow.
I will see what else I can find.
Alex

Here are some taken during repainting.

Some more showing the food preparation bench and yhe computer / microscope bench in place but still being set up...the microscope has been moved to the other day nd and the second one added since these were taken and things tidied...these were just progress reports for my daughter I had not intended making them public.

I just noticed I thought you wanted a photo of the bow..but it was the boat..I dont have a photo but I will take one and put it here..it is just a tinnie..well not just a tinnie in so far it was a special build many years ago and a very robust unit..it is in a mess cause I cant get in it to clean it and it is half full of water which I only started pumping out earlier...I will get one with water and one without.
Alex

The first photo was showing her the new chair I had just assembled...the microscope is under its plastic cover if you look hard...and the food preparation bench is being used as a work bench here with multiple projects and stuff being sorted ..the fan for example was being adjusted to go in the observatory...its all neat and tidy now..the photo of the ramp was to show the hand rail I had put it but you can see the blue barrel which holds wash up water and acts as a wash stand..I use a gold pan as a hand basin..it has a bilge pump inside to supply water at the flick of a switch..very flash..the cheap car port was for the MX5 but the poor thing has been out in all this rain..but I found that it did not leak so it stays out....the car port is being used temporarily now for other things.

The photos dont tell the story really..like the work to put in each of those benches you would not believe...I had no one to help so when cutting them I had to build a special jig so they did not fall and damage themselves splitting at the last cut..then getting them from the work bench into the van was something ...lucky they fitted firdt go.
