thank  you Jim . try some of our good Belgian Beer if its available there adn maybe you ll change yuor mind

[Script]

Adrieke,

 

I do like some of your beers.....

 

It's just that after one or two in succession, they all taste the same (Hic! ) to me......

 

Are you familiar with Delerium Tremens?   The beer, not the condition...... :D :D

 

I believe it was from Belgium....I got it in a store in Ann Arbor...

 

Guess I got in on the beer talk after all........my favorites are generally wheat beers....

 

Cheers,

 

Jim

 

[Adrieke]

yup its a belgian beer but i have never even seen a bottle of that one . there are so many of them

 

there is a little cafe up on a mountain (hill) in the belgian ardennes and all the walls have shelves top to bottom all with empty beer bottles of all the belgian beers

[cog]

Jim,

 

That's an oldy. Doesn't taste bad but it shurly kicks! I prefer Duval, or more in Adrieke's line Kriek Lambic. Belgium beers are the best. Don't even think about the Dutch ...

[cog]

Adrieke,

 

What about a Peche Lambic, does your bar serve that? Or a Tripple ...

[Micklen32]

Looking really good Adrieke

Again  I do tend to compare to the Spirit 

It is amazing how different instructions do put the build in different order

Or are you not really following the instructions   

I love the herringbone decking and the wall planking

Very nicely done

 

Mick

[Adrieke]

sorry Carl none of those available here

 

yes Mick i am not follwing the instructions in order mostly because i had to wait for the hullplankign strips so i made a lot of things in advance. The bashing for the lights had soemthign to do with it too ofcourse. i tend to put a cross on the photo instructions once i have done it so i wont forget anything

 

thank you Mick

[Adrieke]

forgot to mention my technique for installing the side railings didnt work (the part came off when i tried to send) i am using th eclothes pegs now as they just fit around waitign for the top one to dry (installed it when going to work ) i ll see the result tonight and decide if i like it or not

[Script]

Carl, Adrieke, 

 

Way back in the early 'Windows' days I started a taste test of only imported beers to learn how to use a database program.  That's when I had the DT's. :D .

 

Also had a number of Lambics.....going to try and find my list.  I recall one....as I was pouring, a number of chunks of something came out of the bottle....didn't bother to taste it so it missed the list....

 

Cheers,

 

Jim

 

[cog]

Jim,

The chunks must have been a remnant of yeast or sediment. Quite a few Belgium beers continue fermentation in the bottle. The sediment I do not advise to consume. If you're not so lucky, you will get rather sick ... However, the beer is good, you just should take care not to poor the yeast into your glass. Duval, e.g. is one of those beers, and a strong one for that.

[cog]

Adrieke,

 

How did your next effort installing the railing turn out?

[Script]

Thanks Carl,

 

I'll use a filter on the next one I try that has stuff on the bottom......

 

Cheers,

 

Jim

 

[Adrieke]

Hello Adrieke,

 

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well.

I hope you feel better soon.

We're not going anywhere.

 

Take good care of yourself,

 

Anja

[cog]

Hope you do feel better soon mate! Take your time

[Adrieke]

thanks John,Carl and Anja

 

as i said its just a minor problem that i have been having since beginning this year.

 

i did get to work for an hour tonight . drilled a few more holes for the treenaling

 

also installed the triangles at the top of the headposts on the lower deck.

 

[john46]

How such a minor detail can complete the look of the headposts. Nice job Adrieke.

 

Regards,

John

[Adrieke]

thanks John. about them. I made them a bit larger as the small ones kept disintegrating when sanding and was also more dificult to get them all the  same size. this resulted in some tight fit at the bow where 2 headposts are close together

[lamarvalley]

That little detail does make a big impression. Looks great Adrieke!

[Script]

Adrieke,   Hope you are feeling better

 

Your steamboat is coming along nicely.....can't wait for the illuminated night time photos! 

 

Cheers,

 

Jim

 

[Adrieke]

thanks Jim.

 

wel i am not too good. the medication i was taking for the minor health problem has caused some alergic reactions on my skin (think itchy and scratchy  )

so had to stop them and am now been treated with something to counter the effects and hopefuly soon because its driving me crazy (or is that crazier)

 

i worked for about an hour adding the trenails and drilling more holes.

 

i bought some beer (german bitburger as i cant get my prefered belgian beer) the day before and had one today because all this talk about beer has made me crave one

[Adrieke]

i ll get some photos with lihgts on for you . will only be the lower 2 decks as it will stil be awhile before i have the wirign doen for the rest

[john46]

Adrieke, sorry to hear about your discomfort. Hope this will end very soon. Like Jim am curious to see the lights on.

 

Regards,

John
