 ... nearly finished!
The floor boards have been manhandled into the boat ...
 ... really good quality that will not show the joins under my preferred floor covering.

Work is progressing well now, the floorboards should be fixed tomorrow and the wall boards should arrive tomorrow too ... in the meantime at ...

Lambon Fabrications Steve has started on his next project.  At the end of last week this was just a few metal bars on the floor but is now fast becoming a pontoon boat (house boat with no engine) for the Thames.
