Oh yes, flock wallpaper and make sure you cover every wall with 'brass effect' nautical trinkets and you'll be good to go.
Simpo's going to be green with envy.
Just wait till the photo is published in a few weeks with 5 burley chaps stood on my coachouse roof, that will then be mission accomplished Simpo's going to be green with envy.
Makes note not to take Mossy's phone calls in future.
I may not post for a while I need to cast the ropes off and just be alone for a few days. Fibreglassing will be completed tonight! 
I must say I am amazed at the strength of woven 600 sheeting when wetted and bonded, will get some piccies tonight of completed works

I shall take that as a compliment motorvator on my thick sturdy layer of fibreglass you see before you
Mind you it will take a lot more glassing than that to alter centre of gravity as I know she weighs over 7.5T as when she was transported they sent a 7.5t crane to pick her up but couldn't even lift it, they sent a 15t crane lorry the next day

Have a deadline for boat!.... 19 August... but am on schedule, just 
Bought some Arbormast:
And used this to seal all the brand new vents and woodwork to the coach house roof. I had already varnished the underside of the woodwork with 7 coats of Epiphanes, first coat 50% thinners, second coat 25% thinners and 3rd coat onwards pure varnish, it came up alright for 30 year old wood that hadnt been looked after properly for a few years.
So now coating varnish on this week so I can have the topside as the underside with 7 coats

Looking good Jon. 
Just bear in mind that Arbomast drys out in the sun so keep any edges of it covered. Many years experience of south facing seafront windows.
Indeed you are right MOTORVATOR, have been armed with cleaning cloths and white spirit to remove as much of the excess as possible. Messy ole stuff indeed. Just bear in mind that Arbomast drys out in the sun so keep any edges of it covered. Many years experience of south facing seafront windows.
Anyone thought about a Bank Holiday trip to St. Katherines Dock?

See, you're a closet Freeman owner! (and even I only use three coats of yacht varnish on the irreplaceable makore veneers)I'd have expected you coastal types to slap on a coat of B&Q woodstain with a broom
