Drawers

Are a pain in the arse. Especially so when nothing lines up which not much does on the boat. Spirit level is out the window when the boat lists to the left a bit. Sooo, lots of trial and error, fuzzy logic, and swearing later...


There's a fair bit of storage now and I'll probably fit some temporary handles and leave the drawers as they are for the moment as we're not totally sure what the decor should look like yet. There is also the more pressing issue of Clare's desk and work area!

This should be a relatively simple task... Ha, of course it won't! Electricity will throw up a few problems as running multiple 240 volt appliances through an inverter will burn it (£900), plus the shower is next to the desk area so here's hoping it's sealed ok. Whatever 'das boot' throws at me it's all good as it's work on our own house - albeit a floating one with no space to swing a cat.

Also found a leak around the water filler fitting, which is dandy as I was wondering where the water staining was coming from! So, off it came:


Some brushing, treatment, painting, and silicone later a rust free, water tight water filler:


My days spent derusting the mini were good experience! I'll fit some screws in later but the silicone will do better than the lumps of rust it was held on with before.
