Build Day 91

Day 91 of the build of "Alanne".  "We travel in hope", so the saying goes, hoping there has been some progress to our narrow boat.  We arrived at Collingwoods at around 11.00 am.  We went straight to the workshop were "Alanne" was last seen for its fit out.  At first glance it appeared no work had been carried out, but on closer inspection I could see in the gloom that the floor in the boat had been treated with a rust stopper.  I held my camera through the window openings and flashed away.
After a short time Garry appeared and we discussed the next moves and the finish date, which is now expected at around the 10th of June.  We had a few more answers to various queries and we went away happy that some progress had been made.
When we arrived home, I downloaded my photos onto my computer for a closer look.  I was a little dismayed that the work on the rust cure was a slipshod job with lots of obvious misses with the treatment.  I texted Garry and suggested they had another go and send me photos of the results.  Again this is a little worrying if this is the standard of work I can expect from Collingwoods fitters.
