Gunwales



Just stiffened the gunwales by glueing 14X45 mm timber on inside and outside all around. Doing this alone was the most difficult work so far - with the timber being quite sturdy. Two more hand had been so good, but around everyone was asleep, had gone to work or was drunk.
If it stays warm like it is at the moment I should finish the boat next week. The weekend is for the family, but on workdays I never can spend more than 3 hours in the shed...
Want to know the story of the squated place? Well, when friends of mine discovered that the site was without an owner they just went in... German civil law knows that you can give up property (see § 928 BGB!). In our case there was too much mortgage on the property, so a former state owned (well they called it peoples owned) company got rid of it after privatization at the beginning of the 90's...
