Another weekend has come and gone. I'm not as far along in the replacement of the deck core as I'd like but I'm still optimistic that I'll make the October 1st deadline. 

This weekend I:
- patched up and old hole from a thru-hull
- supported the forward part of the deck from below
- got started on the support for the new slightly bigger hatch on the foredeck (a Vetus 6363 hatch).

The deck replacement is very much turning out to be a marathon rather than a sprint. Because I'm forced to work in smaller section and a new section needs about 24 hours to dry out it seems the best thing I can do is to swing by each day after work and put in 3-4 hours. 

This is my schedule for the coming week:
Monday: Put down new core
Tuesday: Remove next section of core
Wednesday: Remove next section of toe rail
Thursday: Put down new core
Friday: Start shooting next weekends video ;) 

Ambitious? Heck yes! ;) 

Have an awesome Sunday guys! :)

A washing machine? Wow well I mean it makes sense, but as a man who's been on dry land for years I can totally understand needing a washing machine.

Another comment, I know... I was wondering: If you do know that the laundry machine will not fit through the old hatch, but that it will through the new one, so you know already which model you want (1+2=3)... Before you build in the hatch, you will buy that laundry machine and lower it through that hole and then build in the hatch, right? Otherwise it would remind me of my brother buying that IKEA closet which he built in the corridor and then couldn't fit it through his bedroom door...
