When I built/fitted out Malua it was an easy decision as to where it would go. The reserve was at the back of our house at the end of the garden . The empty hull which was trucked from Cardiff NSW had access to the reserve but the crane could only lift the 12 tonne vessel and swing it about 4 m into the garden so that determined its location. I then created concrete blocks onto which I built a steel cradle and into which the hull was placed.
No this micro Bootlegger kayak is only 4.26 m long and weighs only about 40 kg so the space requirements could be met. My workshop is the single garage of our house but during the Malua build I added a carport to house the timber for the fit out. Then came the new EV car and that could not as all our other cars stand outside in the rain so I cleared the carport of all the stuff one accumulated during a vessel build plus extra containers of "may be useful one day".
With this cleared space and the new vehicle the old half height gates had to be replace with a remote controlled roller door so one drives directly into the carport/garage space - how modern.
Now the carport was easy to clean up - just move the car but the workshop was a different matter. That took almost a month of creating shelves, spaces and moving items from their traditional place to a new place. Also involved were many trips to the dump and recycling area.
It looks a mess but I can assure you I need every single piece of equipment and tool in the photo.
OK what have I got for all the effort see below
Now the project can begin. I will also set out the tools and equipment I will use during the strip planked build.
