Building the houseboat

[peter radclyffe]

yeah, take it easy

Daniel, I've not said much but have been following along as you build.

You don't need me to tell you that you're doing a great service to a lot of people by posting your work. My compliments to the photographer!

Looking forward to seeing you continue your build but a word of caution. This is heavy strenuous work and you need to let that injury heal. We don't heal as well as when we were 20 so do as your doctor says and take it easy on your ankle. It's gonna take a little patience........

Best,

MIA

Strongly agree.

Just checking in to see how you're doing, Daniel.

Thank you all.
Things are not doing well, the foot still badly inflated and with a nice purple color.
I hope to be able to resume in two more weeks, I have to sand and oil the deck and then bolt the sills for the cabin, to the intermediary beams underneath.
When that is done, the planking finally can start. I can't wait.
In the good news my son, after is summer job is done in Spain, will come to help me. He is strong and when he start working he doesn't stop. He can put easily 10 hours a day with a smile.
So perhaps my goal to beat the snow can be done. Will see.
I apreciate your friendship and interrest on the project.
Daniel

all right there Hop Along lets not get to sappy just cause you've come up lame on us
what say you carve out a stem head piece in all your spare time
sounds like you have a few weeks to kill and you could likely slice up something pretty nifty

best of luck

I am glad your son will come to help you. You should stay off for three weeks just to be sure, if you can tolerate the idleness for that long. It is difficult, the waiting.
