Getting there :thumbsup:
I see you covered your gap on the inner liner. 8)
Don't worry about the up side down photo, that is for the guys and gals in the northern hemisphere to see them up the right way. The sideways ones are for those on the equator. :lol:

Re the gap, yes I did, but will also use some rope as am I an old sea dog and I like the sound of that

I will get some more work done tonight (but not much as a good mate came round and forced me to drink beers with him)

My wife though the rope idea sounded good as well, but we both have salt in our veins too.

I have been doing a bit of re-organising in the galley today.

I seem to always have that and more all over the place outside where I'm building.
I realy need a cart or something I can wheel around to put tools on, I'll get around to making one when I'm finished.;)
Do you ever go to work inside your TD and can't move for all the crap you've put inside it over a day (s)

(Sorry it is upside down but a student stole my phone and my new one is not so smart)


Too funny...I turned my phone around to see the pic and it's so smart it kept turning it upside down again :lol:

Is it tough for you guys 'down there' to be walking upside down all the time or do you get used used to it and just see it as normal ? :CC

That pic could have my trailer -fortunately I cleaned it out before skinning the hatch because otherwise I would lose access to anything in there until the glue dried. A cart would be a great idea - I have one for my tools at work but never though of it. My wife has a 'tea cart'...I wonder if she'd notice if I put a couple wheelbarrow wheels on it to deal with the gravel ? :twisted:

Coming along nicely felixx !
