Some steps further.
Not going very quickly, but.....
Starting to look like something.
Just ordered the wood for the window sills

Cool. Almost there.

Cool. Almost there.

Thanks Depp. Yeah, it's not going fast, but I'm getting there.

Looking like a room now rather than building site

Really nice update Peter.   Good to see the wallpaper up and a lot of painting completed.  Great choice in doing the window sill mock up first as that helped you pick the right amount of overhang desired.

Yup. Amazing what some paint can do

Thanks. I'm happy too with the outcome.

I'll bet your anxious to get it finished now so that you can move back in

Absolutely.
Trying to find out when the wood for my window sills is ready to pick up as we speak.

Wallpaper looks like you put it on great.

You did a better job than Ive managed before,  although I've never tries this fibreglass paper.

This goes on quite easily. Still a ... of a job, but at least it goes with 1m at a time. Since the rolls are about 1m wide.

Thanks. I'm happy too with the outcome.

You're very welcome Peter.  I know you still have a ways to go but the project is really coming along nicely.

Sounds good.  I had a fantastic first day dive today.  We dove on the Lost Blue Hole.  This was one of the most exciting dives I've ever been on.   If you are interested here is an article about where we dove.

Oh wow.
That looks super nice!

It is definitely something you don't see everyday for sure.  I'm ashamed to admit that during that fantastic dive I somehow lost my new GoPro camera.  Must have fallen when I wasn't paying attention and now way to recover as that hole is over 200 meters deep.  First time I've ever lost anything diving so I'm still a bit miffed.

Oh noooooooooo.
That is too bad.
I always assumed you would use a strap to keep it attached to your 'body' somehow when diving.

I had a strap on it along with a couple of other items I had separate straps on but somehow it came lose and is long gone.  It's on me for not checking it more thoroughly before the dive as I was completing my full safety check.  Oh well, expensive lesson learned.

Darn. That is not good.
I guess you're not going to go down to 200m to try and find it.

I'm not certified for that depth nor do I have the required equipment.  Hypoxic breathing gas is required below 60 metres (200 ft) to lessen the risk of oxygen toxicity.  The camera is well below 200 meters.

Do you have a backup camera with you?

Montfrooij Posted at 2-23 13:03

Sadly I do not and that was my first trip out with the new dive case for the GoPro.  Still mad at myself but I can't let it negatively effect the rest of the trip.

I get it.
Not sure if they sell something similar over there.
And otherwise, it's just you and your eyes and memories!

I would need both the dive case and the camera and no dive cases available locally.  It's okay I'll definitely be coming back to this area to dive again and I'll bring a camera and a back-up camera on the next visit.

True.
Hopefully the rest of the trip will go well!

It's looking great.

Going to continue today. For the few hours that are 'free' on a Saturday.

It's been a really great trip so far.  Two dives scheduled for today and one more in the morning before the flight back.

Thanks. I made one window sill. Man that was a big job.
Especially with the other tasks that had to get done.....
But it looks great, so I am not complaining.

I don't have the talent for that.

I'm trying. I went out early this morning to shoot a ship graveyard but the weather didn't cooperate. Will have to save it for another day.

BetterBizTech Posted at 2-24 13:05

Neither do I, but I tried and after a lot of measuring and measuring and measuring and cutting... It fits.
