A most important bucket

Our raft has been slowly taking shape over the last few weeks. Now with a pair of 10 foot pontoons stuck in my back garden, I've been lacing up the bottoms with baling twine...lots and lots of it.
None of which would be possible without a big bucket of twine kindly donated by Laurence.

Miles and miles of twine, threaded through (almost) carefully drilled hole, through aluminium tubes and tied up with the bestest granny knots I could manage (I never was a boy scout). eventually forming a tight net pulling the sides in tight against the bottles and supporting the middles of the lozenges.
