Today I finally got the first two of my roof hatches in! It's only taken about five years, mostly because it took us forever to find someone that would actually make the frames for us. My woodwork is so not up to anything that complicated - especially seeing as I really didn't want them to leak every time it rained. Then I had to strip down our poor old rusty roof and paint it. I wish I could say I'd done the whole roof but with the weather we've had this summer there just hasn't been time. As it is it's taken a solid week, £60 of primer and £45 of topcoat to do just over a third of the roof, but it does look good now.Even better - we finally have lots of light inside the boat. We can look up and see the sky, or the stars (or the cat looking down at us)
And only a few kitty paw prints in the fresh paint to annoy me.
