A new year and still no cold nor snow. Only huge amounts of rain and never endning storms. This weekend on 13/1 we had a storm with max winds around 38 m/s (hurricane!) out at sea. The boathouse stand this wind quite good. It had moved 15 cm at the ends, at the center the house was leaning against the boat and no wind moves a 10500 kg iron lady on hard ground. Yes, I have enormous "stöttor"/things that holds her upright. So today I spent whole day of moving the house back in position and replacing lots of broken nails. Need to replace some covers too as they worn out by sun and wind (very cheep plastics on sides)

Flooring has been mounted on board to plan the joinery. Nice. Had to renovate the lowest step-box. It was broken but now I added a L-bar inside so now it wont crack. Very nice to finally touch wood again. Steel is kind of nice but wood is more forgiveable. Stainless steel is more pleasent then steel as you must polish it and don't need to paint it.

A new SS hatch was made for the locker in front. (Yes I know it's not called floor, walls etc but I don't know all english words for it. Dictionary anyone?

Insulation get closer anyway. Will start below floor by hand and have to spray the rest. Money.
