Well, the 4 new planks are in, the 8 new ribs and 4 sistered ribs are nailed at least to the waterline and lots of other bits are done.
This is a photo of Ben and Greg, a couple of young shipwrights with a great attitude, who did the planking whilst we work on the ribs and shaft / strut and other problems.

We ended up with two butt blocks closer together than we would have liked, but we had no choice unless we wanted to remove the 4' long bronze shaft logs. We have added a couple of extra floors in this area to compensate.
This shot shows Grantala hiding behind the bushes until we finish the work.

Tomorrow, the list of unfinished jobs is down to about 20 items.
