[Adrieke]

thanks David

[Adrieke]

not much done today but had a nice day doing some gardening and playing tombraider

 

mainly because i am feeling pretty good , almost no itch and it seems the other problem is finaly healing too

 

i did do some more trenailing and even got all the holes drilled in the 3rd deck woohoo (that leaves only th etop small deck to go)

 

so tomorow i should be able to finish all the trenailing and the deck can be sanded.

 

not sure how this happened but i noticed my little template was getting a bit dirty afterwards i noticed my hands where all dirty it seems the metal has rubbed off on my fingers from all the hole drilling

 

 

[Sjors]

These are working hands Adrieke 

Now you can show everybody that you are doing things…..

 

[john46]

Good to hear you are doing fine. Suppose this is the Black Hand of the Mississippi.

 

Regards,

John

[Tophog]

The lighting looks great.

[DCIronfist]

Which tomb raider are you playing? I did enjoy the new one

[Adrieke]

lol Sjors i didnt know i had to show i am working

 

thanks John

 

thanks geoffrey

 

i am playing the latest one David am about 60 percent done

 

more trenailing today after some more gardening.

 

what i feares has happened. while workign on the 3rd deck i dropped a tool and in my haste to catch it broke off one of the protruding parts that hold up the paddle wheel

 

hopefuly the repair work will hold

 

 

 

[john46]

Bad luck Adrieke, but I now you are able to fix it.

 

Regards,

John

[Shazmira]

Jeez, even riverboats have protruding parts you have to be careful of? Is there nothing other than a block of concrete that would be safe?

Sorry to hear about the mishap Adrieke, but I have faith you will prevail.

[DCIronfist]

I'm sure I could find a way to break a piece of the concrete lol

[mtaylor]

I know how that "hurt" on breaking things is, Adrieke.  I do believe we all do.   Hopefully, it's fixable without have to rip out quantities of wood bits and pieces.

[Adrieke]

thanks John i hope you are right

 

thanks Robbyn. its probably because i am so focused on not touching it that i broke it lol

 

lol David just dont use your hand to do that we already have casualtiess on here

 

thanks Mark

 

i did get luck in the way that the deck planks broke off clean so when i glue them back its not noticable

so far it seems to hold. i am going to finish off the 2 nd deck stair at the back soon so that i can fit the paddle wheel in. My idea is to bend the eyebolts under the deck so that when i do the rigging it wil add stability to it

 

lets hope i ll keep my clumsy hands away from it for now

[wim500]

That's bad luck Adrieke, but you've the skills to repair this properly.
