After much contemplation, measuring, constructing, fitting and general too-ing and fro-ing I have managed to build a robust door frame and door which gives the doorway a finished iook. All of this took me longer to construct than I thought it would, but the whole job is now almost complete. The door fits! it works! it looks good! it will give privacy to the toilet area and gives the main cabin a completed look. The door replaces a curtain.
To complete the job only requires some sanding, staining and varnishing before the final permanent hanging of the door on its hinges.
The most wonderous aspect of all of this activity up till now, is that I have managed to take the door to and from 'Mariner' in the dinghy without ending up in the tide! It has been at times a bit of a tricky balancing act.,,,,,,,,,,,,,, BUT! the door is now ashore being varnished - there is still time for a watery christening - yikes! I hope not!
