long bolts and jobs lists



I have been prattling on about mounting the new deck hardware, and failed to mention that I had to order some extra long bolts in order to do so... a set of M6 counter sunk bolts in A4 at a princely 15cm long!

This is all that still stuck through the coachroof afterwards


Its probably hard to tell from the picture, but I can tell you its about 3cm of spare bolt.

That is build strength that we might one day be very pleased to have!

Also, I have been trying to create a new jobs list, that I am marking up as needed before we leave the harbour, or not needed, and then selecting a few each visit to try and bring a bit of structure to my work, rather than just drifting from job to job as I feel like it.

This is proving a good thing. However, the current jobs list is at 213 items!

Here it is... not all are essential, some are comfort, rather than function, some are a little anal.... but it does give an idea of the magnitude of work still to be done.
