When is this Boat For My Potplants project ever going to end? There's always something that needs doing. No sooner do I finish the interior, my attention falls to the rear deck, which could do with a rub down and a new coat of varnish.
And then there is the painting of the top deck and repairing of the windscreen and the houdini hatch. But hang on a minute - I've already done that once. How can it possibly need doing again?
I suppose the winter snow and ice, the howling winds along the salt-water estuary, and the baking summer sunshine take their toll.
But instead of me getting on with it, a recent passer-by caught me red-handed taking a break (well deserved, I might tell you), catching the last of the summer rays. (see the pic on my blog www.aboatformypotplants.blogspot.com )
There's always something to do. I hope that's the way it will always be.

Oh - Maybe the Weathershield is not as good as you thought maybe ??
Hows the rest of the paint fairing ?
Ignore it for now & untie those ropes !!!

Well, if truth be told, the Weathershield is fairing pretty well - in the places where I used it - but I did make a bit of a blunder by trying out floor paint (I know, I know, it was a stupid idea) on part of the top deck. And some of the windscreen's wood was pretty rotten in the first place - of course I should have replaced it, but time and money got in the way as usual. I'm learning by my mistakes.
