CHERTSEY

BOATS, BRIDGES, BOILERS ... IF IT'S GOT RIVETS, I'M RIVETTED
... feminist, atheist, autistic academic and historic narrowboater ...
Likes snooker, beer, tea, rivets and solitude, and is strangely fascinated by the cinema organ.
And there might be something about railways.

Timber!

What have I done today then? Another coat on the tunnel bands, a coat over all the cabin top, Jim in the engine room attaching the gear mechanism and fitting the exhaust. We couldn't find a vital part of the throttle mechanism but to our great relief after turrning everything upside down it did turn up. Phew.

The the timber arrived which was rather marvellous, very good service, and Jim got started on making the floors for the hold. And that's all for today as tthere's beer to be drunk.

  1. Looking good!

    From a distance, your progress certainly seems impressive.

    Can't wait to see Chertsey at some stage.

    (The boat, that is - they place I can't really get excited about!)
