Although it is my birthday that is looming, Ciao Bella seems to be getting all of the pressies. This weekend she has acquired a windex, Red Ensign, Flag staff holder, GPS, Charts covering Dorset and Devon and a smoke chimney for the oil lamp.

| Base fitted to Ariel |
The windex was going to be fitted as a stand alone unit but when I unpacked it, it had instructions for it to go over a glomex antenna. My antenna is not a Glomex but with some thought, structural epoxy, sikaflex (God I love that stuff) and a bit of fettling I had it fitted.

| Flag staff holder fitted, can't fit the flag staff as the house is in the way. |
I also fitted the headlining and LED recessed lamps. The headlining looks excellent, I will need to find a cunning solution to support the outside edges. I was screwed into wood strip that were held by the grab rail bolts, as these encouraged water leaks I have banned them. The LED lamps are superb. There is plenty of light to read and study charts by but it is a nice warm light, not stark clinical white light that you often get from LED's

She's coming together!! Did you find the source of the drips in the last but one post????
ReplyDeletePS. Get a proper camera - we want bigger pictures! :o))
Ahh, the drips! I managed to stem most of the flow, in fact I think it has stopped completely but, to be sure, I think I'm going to have to remove and refit the Port front window again.
ReplyDeleteRef camera... I haven't got time to stop and take proper photos.... besides, if I took decent photos you'd see the truth behind my DIY skills :D
Pheww... so not seriously structural then - good news.... drippy windows are a feature of my life.... hardly noticeable.... :o))
