Finding our Level

Today we put in some of the blocks to level the decking-to-be. This is a hot, sweaty, heavy, dusty job which takes far longer than I'd've thought possible and requires a lot of sitting in the shade recovering. So only one of the biggest frames is levelled; another big one and 3 smaller ones to do, tomorrow and tomorrow ...

The good news is the generator fired up. There was initial disappointment but after we opened the fuel tap it worked much better. It's not too noisy, and it's out of the way behind the truck, and we only need it for brief bursts of power tools, so that's okay.

I forgot to mention our debt of gratitude to Jono's Helene's Elizabeth, who gave me a black marker pen when she was here (for the boat, really) which has been extremely useful for marking the screw holes in the frames. Thanks Lizzy!
