How is your build going on Herman?

It has gone from slow but steady to I am afraid a complete standstill (for now). Wow, my last post showing some progress already dates back to the 5th of April. What happened? Really nothing special. I was busy with several parts of the build and from one day to the next it seemed like I lost the momentum and it seemed everything I picked up went wrong; even the steam cleaner with which I made the wood flexible broke down. Before it started to really bother me, I thought it would be wise to put the build aside for a while. And now 'a while' has gone to almost 5 months.
Life has gotten in the way I think is the expression. In the meantime we went on vacation, welcomed our 2nd grandchild, all positive, but at the same time there are quite a few worries about my mother (94) and the parents in-law. And spare time in the summer is anyway mostly spent gardening and some overdue paintwork on the house.
Anyway, I have certainly not given up, I continue to enjoy all the build logs here and hope to continue construction soon, especially now that autumn is just around the corner.

Good morning Herman. Life does that sometimes, and it’s never a bad thing to have a break from ship building. Congratulations on the arrival of your second grandchild- awesome. Keep well. Cheers Grant

Hello @Adrianus . Good luck on your fine Kolderstok 7P project.
I'm afraid building my 7P will only help you so much. Once you start construction you will probably overtake me in the foreseeable future and the tables will turn. I expect to be busy for years to come.

Thank you Grant.
BTW my grandson, now 2 years old, is completely obsessed with my Harley. He now climbs it independently via the steps and side bags, holding on to the sissy bar. Fortunately, it is a heavy motorcycle that stands firmly on the side stand.
