It’s Not Pretty.

But it works. Perhaps I should explain, anyone who has had the misfortune to have stayed on board with me will know that for months, no, years now there has been a perilous gap between the original bridge floorboards and the steel cabin floor. All of us have grown exceedingly used to stepping over this space, so much so that when I fitted this partially prefabricated step yesterday I found my legs still automatically wanted to bridge the certain depth. With the lack of any real power on board at the mo the frame for this was welded up at home out of bits of scrap angle found on Becky’s new stable yard. The grating material has been on board for months, just waiting for me to extract a finger. With a nod to practicality and unlike my usual approach this is probably going to be a temporary/permanent fix, meaning that hopefully one day it’ll be replaced with something more glamorous but right now I couldn’t think of a more elegant solution so this one had to do. So. It’s not pretty, but maybe has a certain sore-thumb charm, whatever, at least the danger of death (or at least broken pelvis) has been removed.
