Lilla Varvet finished

The weather got very warm for one day - around 10 degrees C - so I managed to finish painting the outside walls. Falu röd is water-based paint so painting below 5 degrees is not recommended.

Next step was to do some finishing touch on door frame and prepare the interior for thermal isolation. I started with the roof, as the most important.

I chose 90mm thick mineral wool - to leave a little gap between metal roof and the wool. Support beams are spaced so that wool panel ends land on the support (most of the time).

A few hours job, lots of wool dust on the face and aking neck but the roof is done.

Moving onto wall isolation. I start with NW wall as the wind comes mostly from this direction.

The next day is not so warm anymore but sunny and inviting. I drive to Meritaten, to see if all is well. It is.

I re-circulate the linseed oil and go back to Lilla Varvet.

By the end of the day I’m done with walls isolation.

The only wall left without wool is the one I will dismount to take the boat out, once she is done. It will not happen soon but I run out of wool so I use this excuse to call it a day.

Ilur drawings and plans hanging at hand, to refer while building.

My small Nano, in folded form, got its place on the wall, too.

Marine plywood for building should arrive mid-January. Till then I continue my crash-course in boatbuilding!
