Ha! Must be the CCFan boat virus and all that talk about epoxy here... We painted our cabinets with an epoxy-based paint
 This stuff costs about 70 bucks for a quart  , but it's rock solid. We let it cure for a week and yesterday, we put the cabinets back together.As a test, I took my cigarette lighter and hit the back of the doors (in an inconspicuous area) a couple of times with the sharp edge. Not a single scratch! Great stuff. |

I always figured Kristof more for the "Van Down by The River" type.

Time to revive this thread and show the progress we've made since then...
First I built a roof over the terrace, so we can enjoy the outside, even when it rains (which happens quite often in Belgium). The whole terrace and roof still have to be cleaned and get a new coat of wood-stain.    And my lovely wife made it her project to put all the cabinets in a fresh modern coat of paint.  Also, the seats are getting reupholstered... We're almost ready for the new season  |

July - august are the best months over here. sunniest and warmest.
Current water temperature is about 21°C (70°F) and goes up to 28°C (83°F) by mid july... You can always ask Kapla... He stayed a few days here. I think he enjoyed it  BTW, Kapla and I are meeting in Amsterdam on july 16th! Looking forward to that |

Crapola, I had only 610 minutes to spare this weekend!! However, I will be working on an extended weekend, and may take you up on the offer. I will take Jbear and Backfoot along, as they will need Adult supervision. What is the current water tempature, and when is the best "season"?

Every CCFan that comes near my neck of the woods is VERY welcome for a beer and some runs in or behind the boat!!
No worries Steve, there will be a few parties at this place! |

Kristof, the place looks great. Had a trailer for 13 years at the lake before I finally decided to build a house. Totally enjoyed all the time we spent there and learned to appreciate the little things in life that are so important. Cheers to you and your family. Enjoy!
