We are back at The Firehouse for a whistle-stop tour on a mission to finish the dock.
After a dreadful week of rain, we awoke to 'rain' which miraculously turned to sun which we took as a sign to start early as get as much done before the rain decided to do a 360 and come back to say 'hello'.
This time we were on our own and without the wonderful Bob and Mary-Lou but with our new Milwaukee in hand, we set off on the boat ready for a day of action.
Darren had bought an incredible ergonomic saw of Japanese Origin and we used it to cut the last remaining decking boards to lay them down and screw them to the joists.
I volunteered myself again as 'drill-girl' and had to wriggle, on my back, under the deck to screw in the last remaining boards that were the nearest side to land. It was quite awkward at times, with little space to move at all, but we got the job done, and look: Here is the finished dock and pictures of D and I giving it a good test run!
