Building the houseboat

[hoytedow]

The side and top profile look very nice and what you are doing looks like the drawings, but do you have a front profile of the drawing?

So, you are already at the furnishing...............

as the tea trolley shows.

Never part with it.

The ceiling is started.
The staves spend 48 hours in the linseed oil / pine tar tank, and they are put dripping.
The black goop will be cleaned when more dry and the linseed oil will be slightly cleaned in two day, letting the time to moist the lower end of each staves.
The blocks between each frames are all done and painted, and they will continue to be put in place as they dry.

This is the feeling I would like to recreate in the houseboat.
This was the houseboat 26' by 10' of the naval architect Charles D. Mower, circa 1900.
I really enjoy the "camp" interior style.
