It's been a week of ups and downs! We get to grips with our reclaimed flooring and we encounter one big problem that we can't believe we didn't notice before! We've also got to move the hefty stove before we can continue any further.

With the flooring, as the boards are secondhand, each one needs cleaning before it can be laid. The tongue and grooves all need checking over and there are a fair few tatty boards. Hopefully, it will be worth it for the character, look and environmental benefits of going pre-owned!

It's not all plain sailing with the boat build. Slower progress than we hoped and hiccups along the way mean emotions are running high this week!
