the empty looking wall ... perhaps ... a new foodshelf!!! |

We had the carpenter (Marc from Scotland), we had the
intention of constructing a shelf, but we onl yhad a pile of drift wood
combined with a some left over bits which didn't really help much, we
thought, however... we were wrong. |
 
left: after a wee while of thought, Marc started measuring, hammering (right)
and join(er)ing, ... |
... and what was looking like useless wood before did now
turn into an extremely good looking new foodshelf allowing quite a few hostellers
to "park" their shopping bags and boxes. |

final touch up |

and provided with a "wee dram" we all felt
quite satisfied with the shelf and ourselves |
