A coat of primer makes everything feel better... uniformity is a lovely thing. #marineminimalism #dora #minimalism #boatyardlife #tinyhouse #houseboat

Alternating the colour of the primer so you can see where you’ve painted... a genius tip from an old boatyard resident... #marineminimalism #dorabella #minimalism #boatyard #paint

Teak. Comes alive when you oil it... varnishing is like a coat of plastic, but oiling is like a lovely moisturiser... #marineminimalism #dorabella #boatlife #tinyhouse #teak #minimalism #diy

Wash. Scrub. Scrape. Repeat. All by hand to prevent her seams from popping open. But after quite a few sessions, Dora’s hull was finally clean and ready for a full inspection... #dorabella #marineminimalism #minimalism #houseboat #tinyhouse #zerowaste #zerowasteliving

Timber and bronze. Dora was built to last and has aged beautifully... #Dorabella #marineminimalism #houseboat #tinyhouse #zerowaste #minimalism

Even though she needed a lot of love, by hell she had lovely bones from the start... #Dorabella #marineminimalism #tinyhouse #houseboat #zerowasteliving #zerowaste
