I like Hammocks.

[No Idea]

No Idea how we need the inside of the hammock to look, so Im leaving it as it is for the time being.

I think th eboyfriend is playing on the playstation, as my biggest seems to have grabbed my hammock again.

You can see the velcro on the side ready for the top to go on.

When the tester failed the car, one of the things he failed it on was the towbar being rusty.

I got it taken off so the car would pass the test adn i could get it welded.

Couldnt do it myself because of my pigging ribs.

I wish they would hurry up and shut up.

Thats the tow bar.

Need that back on so I can go tow boats again.

Gave him a tin of paint and said it was worth £2 to him to paint it.

Its a bit rough, but is shouldnt rust.

The sewing machine stopped sewing.

Irritating.

It was belting lines of holes in the cloth, but not leaving thread in them.

Struggled with it for hours.

Eventually discovered that the bobin wasnt turning quite far enough.

A grub screw had slipped.

Im not a sewing machine engineer.

I struggled fixing it.

The loose grub screw was to the left of the bottom end of the pipe

I twisted it straight and did it up and was able to carry on sewing.

I get to test it with the ends done up.

I like this.

I like hammocks.

Looking at the shape I need the lid.......

No Idea what I need or how to do it.

Some things never change.

Ive no intention of letting my massive levels of ignorance stop me.

 

[No Idea]

I did some careful measurements while the boyfriend was in it and started to set out the lid.

I think this is what I need - sort of.

Im cutting this out on some hardboard thats stretched over my bed.

The board has been there for several months as Ive been drawing boat plans on it.

This is why I usually end up sleeping on the settee or in the garden.

I need a centre piece, two pieces for each side of my head and then two ends.

Its cut....

 

[No Idea]

Sewing it.....

Machine slipped again.

Struggled for over 3 hours to put this together..

Grrr.....

I might like hammocks, but I could get to hate sewing machines.

 

[No Idea]

Need to sort out the ends....

Need to velcro the other side.

 

[No Idea]

Ive now got an opening both ends so I can sleep either way round.

Cant make up my mind if I want to sew one side on and velcro the other or just velcro both

 

[No Idea]

The window opens up in a T shape so you can get your head through

 

[No Idea]

Gee!

Now the wife has nicked it!

 

[No Idea]

I need some insulation for the top now.

 

[No Idea]

Its in.....

 

[No Idea]

Ive built it too long so I end up with a sort of neck baffle

 

[No Idea]

Just need to assemble it with the netting and the tarp and try it.

Looks awesome, cant wait too see it all finished with mossy net/tarp all setup now i wonder what lowest temp it`ll keep you comfortably snugg at? looks great!!
I hope you fixed the water leaking into hammock via the straps, but can always tie like a shoe lace or string part way up, have it hang down to help catch water also. Can always test by pouring water from jug ect onto the straps n see if it works.
