Nearing completion of the physical restoration of the Stacey Marie's structure yesterday, with thanks to general carpenter, Lee of L S Carpentry, and the assistance of his apprentice Rikki, and painting has commenced too! The cost of materials was funded, of course, by the Hastings Fishermen's Museum and its donors.
Lee volunteered to give up his time for this work, offered free, so I am happy to give a link to his email address (unsolicited, solely my decision to include this as I am grateful for his work), Lee being a very local carpenter who can be contacted at stockleylee@hotmail.com - Cheers Lee!
The new fibreglass deck was added by local builder and landscaper Brian McDonagh, many thanks for his expertise and labour, and to Lee for assisting Brian. The materials were again funded by the Fishermen's Museum and its donors. Brian also volunteered to give up his time for this work, offered free, so, again, I am happy to give a link to his contact details as I am grateful for his work. Brian is also a very local businessman who undertakes all aspects of building including roofing, scaffolding and landscaping, and can be contacted at bry414t@gmail.com or tel 01424 430935 - Cheers Brian!
Regular readers will be aware of my involvement with this project, the first exhibit of the Fishermen's Museum you reach when walking eastwards down Rock-a-Nore Road; go to her facebook page for further information, or visit the Hastings Fishermen's Museum, further down Rock-a-Nore Road (website), where donations would be welcome, the museum being a registered charity, many thanks.
