Construction Year 2
We tried to get the doors and windows in place before
winter.
July we worked with the outer surfaces. At last, 12 August 1999, however,
happened: Pakkelipokka was painted. All the long and dusty groundwork was over
and new clean paint became.
In August, we put the windows and doors in place. Simple
thing then seemed overwhelming. The windows were made at the factory on
two occasions, the first time, the tone was wrong. When we finally got
windows in place, were the seals wrong.
Autumn came. We went to indoor work. Basic lines became
clear in the previous winter. To main cabin came dining table for three-four
adults.
The biggest design problem would be the cockpit. How can
it be made operational? The problem has been easy to move into the future
so far, but now it is inevitable.
Autumn tried to became winter and brought the storms. At
these storms our "cottage" (14x6x6 m) was moving. Let´s see what the new
millennium will bring!
2000
The new millennium!
Actually, you could say that all the "fun" is over - the design, lines,
agreeing... During the winter we made the maincabin ready. Among other
things, the ideas and thoughts aroused cocpit. We made tables, stairs,
floors, and at long last, in April, they were finished, ready to varnish.
In May, we moved to front cabin and the toilet's
interior. Funniest to make was the toilet's door, it was opportunity to
use imagination and to try something new.
