Weather window
Winter Witch is close. Last week the temperature at nights was constantly just a fraction above zero. She is close.
But apparently she was pacing too hastily - she got tired? Need a rest? Warm clouds bearing lots of rain covered our island and the temperature rose to mild and pleasant seven degrees.
Weather window has opened itself for the final coat of paint!
Building Louve is much like sailing her - or any other sailboat: weather is a decisive factor. Equipment and skills help but eventually you cannot beat elements.
With the stove running on max I get 25 degrees in the coldest place of the shed. That will do the trick.
I’m thankful to my female advisors - Louve looks beautifully in light color. Warm white plays unison with mahogany and oak. Thank you Kejt, Jessica, Anna and Sylvia. And Björn.
Tomorrow, when the paint cures I will dry-fit brass protection strips and mark drilling points for csk screws. I’ll drill and mount them under the week so next weekend I can finally turn over the hull!
