    Never overwhelmed by the scale of decay these two plough on with ingenuity, confidence and their usual outstanding abilities. AND take the time to share it with us with humour . What a team. It has struck me recently that these guys are blessed with the many qualities that people needed when Sarinda was on active service.

    Again, very impressed with your dogged enthusiasm. I’ve been waiting for this part since you first took on the project, knowing that it could have been the last straw to thwart someone else’s dreams of restoring Sarinda. By starting below with the framework, falling in love with the work and progress, you two have now no doubt all that it takes to get it done (in time). I’m proud of you, and I don’t even know you personally. I sure would like to. ❤

    Seeing Gemma with the hoover through the hole in the deck, an idea popped in my head. When you are install the new deck, It might be handy to have a hatch in that area. You could use the horizontal boards (stringers?) as the steps/ladder. It would be useful when loading things into the forward compartment. But, more importantly, in an emergency, it's another way to get out of the ship.

    Just be careful with the long bolt’s, they might not be two bolts welded together but purposely made with a left hand thread on one side and right hand on the other so when it passes through the deck both thread’s will be ok. If you’ve not thought of this then I hope it help’s. Absolutely Great work.
