Roof on.

As promised here are the pictures. Paul returned around 2 minus coat and gloves that had been donned first thing.

This side hasn't been finished as the sheet of steel earmarked has been rejected as it had a bend in it.

Foam removed in readiness for side hatches

Hatches marked up.

Hatches being plasma cut.

Houdini gone.

And welded. Solar panels will inset on this panel

All joints on port side have now been seam welded.

Roof section in position and tack welded. All the hand rails have been fitted and the scuppers repositioned this is to stop sediment from the chimney discolouring the sign writing on the back of the boat.

For once Paul enjoyed his journey this morning he now goes at a steady pace not 90 miles an hour as he did before. Lots of boat traffic about taking advantage of the sunshine no doubt.

Pauls £30 bike is beginning to get expensive not only have we had to fork out for a new set of pedal, a pump and a puncture repair outfit he now wants a NEW rear tyre as the bike keeps stepping out on the slippy mud. This is because Paul has worn out the tread already so the cycle man is due a visit soon.
