Humbled by your responses cape man, Jaysen, Fuzz, Jeff, Tom, Lee and Jonnymac. Thank you.
I must get the home shift finalised asap and I'm determined to be back posting regularly on Skinnydip, Great Sandy and Feather Pram stuff in two weeks time.

I'm delighted to report that after a big push these last couple of weeks, our new home now has an approved and built structural skeleton where I can work small boats up to 15'. Finished it this evening, will post daylight pics tomorrow, time now for a celebratory red.

Thanks for hanging in during the lean times Fuzz, Jeff and Rickk!
A couple of pics of the recently completed slatted timber enclosure for small boat building at our new digs.
It's 7' wide x 18' long, and will be roofed in due course. It's yet to be painted. In time it will be screened by the fledgling lilly pilly hedge. To maintain front door access, boats will need to be 15' or less in here.
Feather Pram, the first resident at 6'8"for her completion, will be a comfortable walk around.
The side gate at the end is adjacent to the garage door, through which boat building tools and materials can be accessed. Doable as.
