The fit-out begins

4th August 2024

Hello, and happy August!

This week started the carpentry, and sawdust everywhere — in my hair, where I sleep, on the chair, where I eat. I finished the bedroom ceiling, and a top wall:

I knew it already, but now I feel it in my fingers: it’s a lot of angles and curves. I also didn’t order enough wood — it’s not the square-meterage that counts (what I guesstimated), it’s the number of long pieces. And with everything flowing lengthways, I need a lot. Alas, we learn.

And in accidentally ordering pozidriv screws, I came across this meme:

Which couldn’t be more wrong, there is of course a superior screw: torx, the six-pointed star/lobe.

With another weekend offline and in meditative bliss, I’m looking forward to more boat work next week.

Until next Sunday!
