Great stuff Vic, and coincidentally, I've just been mentally planning the same thing for the Wessex, when it arrives.

Still hard at it with the deck out back, but almost done. After a couple of coats of oil over the last two days we now need to give it a couple of days to soak in and then we should be able to use it again. This BTW this is the offending deck, it's size is a nice 32sq mand this was after the first coat.





The second coat on the deck didn't take too long so I was able to nip into the hanger for a time today. My effort for the day was to hang some straps from the roof of the cabin just inside the sliding door.
