Galley

The galley is almost ready to be installed, only some final sanding and varnishing.
The bench tiles have been removed as we both have a aversion to 'brown' the new black ones are ready to be fixed, Note: the glue/adhesive made it a difficult job to get them off, I'm still finding bits everywhere.
Most of the remaining Teak ply that has not been replaced with the Maple has now been painted, this is making the inside of the boat a lot lighter and 'modern'.
Mrs DIY is discussing the new upholstery fabrics with my interior designer sister, I'm sure it will look great when we get to that part of the fix.

Gallery/Workshop/Chandlers

The gallery has been converted into the storage for boat bits and workshop for the cutting out of ply. polystyrene and fabric.
A great place to work when the weather is wet and windy as it is today with a major storm covering the most of NZ.

Earthquake Proofing

Saturday and the big earthquake in Christchurch today has prompted me to go around the house to secure things that may take off in a earthquake, something I have been meaning to do since we moved into the house.
They are still saying that we are still to get the big one!
So armed with angle brackets, all move-able items are now screwed to the walls and/or fixed to the floor.
I think I will put an extra edge on the shelves in the pantry (fiddle) to help if we have a quake, it may stop the glass and crockery from hitting the floor.
The house should be OK as I added extra bracing in all the walls when I built it.
I did the calculations and it gives us double the current earthquake requirements.
