UPDATE THREE
The first internal bulk head tacked in place. It is located between the engine room and the bathroom. The bulk head as seen from the boatman's cabin. There will be another one this side of the engine, creating its own room.
The stern tube offered up (the prop shaft goes through this). The end of the stern tube as viewed through the weed hatch.
Hatch for access to the gas bottle chamber. Space for three 19Kg LPG bottles (like the one in the corner of the image). Left hand side front; rubbing strakes fully welded on. Blue cover to stop the rain getting in because the fore deck is not complete.
Right hand side rubbing strakes fully welded. They prevent hull damage when entering locks or hitting other boats. The angle still welded on the rubbing strakes. This is to ensure that the hull did not ripple due to the heat during welding of the strakes.
