The end of the 9th week building ends as Diana joins me and is pleased with the progress on the Harnser kitchen and stairs. I am tired after a hard couple of months building work and will probably get another skilled carpenter in to help Dave to get as much done as possible. Mary Bloom also came with Andrew for the weekend and I let them have most of Heronshaw whilst we occupied the boat.
I was very late to bed but then awoke quite early to the sound of Steve snipping away at the wiring in the boat-shed storage cupboard. Some time before I was up, breakfasted and joined him and then I settled down to wiring the loft and compartment wall whilst Steve helped Dave to work on the end wall by the river. By the end of the day they had clad just about all of it and it looked a picture. Dave also helped me to cut the breakfast bar to a size suitable for the kitchen and this allowed me to fully visualise how the layout would work. Diana and Della joined me later in the evening for the weekend and they were pleased with the kitchen and stairs.

After all of the rows Della gets into with her sister, she was missing Debbie in the boat this evening as we settle down for a night. I am tired after a hard couple of months building work and, as I pay off the workmen for the 9th week, I plan that next week will be the last full week for which we will probably get another skilled carpenter in to help Dave to get as much done as possible. Mary Bloom also came with Andrew for the weekend and I let them have most of Heronshaw whilst we occupied the boat.
