            A few more shots from the office move. Pictures don't really do it justice though.

              I’m looking forward to a business meeting in that sofa, with that cabinet around 12pm on Friday 13th September.

                So, we need a new awning for outside the office to guard us against rain and sun when we eat/drink in the garden.

                I thought making one out of a sail would be cool.

                So we are.

                We are using the main part of this mainsail.  Yes that actual sail….. :o :o 😎 😎

                How FUCKING cool is that.....

                      I'll probably have orders turn up with a 29 waist and 13 inseams but-


                      Fuckin…who's  screaming?


                      I should have listened to Mom and gone to college


                      Oh shit that's a lot of blood


                      Not like that-are you an imbecile

                      Fuck my life.

                      Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                      Well, I have others.

                        I'm interested in what material that sailcloth is made from. Some of the sailcloth like VX-XX that have made it into the luggage and textile industries are really amazing.

                        Think it, be it.

                              That is pretty damn cool. I remember putting one up the morning of F&C last summer. How early do I have to be there to help out on this one?

                                  The good thing about an IMOCA 60 mainsail, is that it is relatively flat.  The boats have so much apparent speed that having a lot of curvature in the sails is not important (Alex's new boat is designed to have so much speed, he's actually considering not even taking a spinnaker).  Long story short, the awning should be fairly flat and easy to install….

                                    Yeah. The really good news is that IKEA's planned obsolescence is about one month behind your partners need to "change things around a bit", so even if you manage to reign h/ir in the shite will fall to pieces shortly afterwards. So you'll be installing new stuff about twice a year… for the rest of your natural life  😉

                                      Though I have Ikea pieces that are pretty rugged. Probably comes down to the complexity, purpose, and use… and whether they included the correct parts.

                                      Think it, be it.
