Cracking on

After considerable investigation, no one knows anything about the hole !!! however all agree that a nut and bolt welded in place will do the trick...........


The interior is almost ready for a Waxoil treatment, painted Hammerite Red on the base where the stove is going. pulled out the wooden cladding round the sides below the gunnels and removed the old insulation...thank goodness for face masks from Screwfix..

The sides are good with the original bitumen, so soon after the Waxoil, the balast and floor can go in....gosh...a couple of hours a day eh!!!

I have to say that its great to have turned the corner from dissassembling to renewing....a sort of theraputic milestone I suppose




So, taking advantage of some sunshine I have got cracking on the exterior again...not so much rust on the outside now, just lots of loose paint to scrape away ......



Found a small leak on this window at the hinge where it opens just by the top of the ladder.




But she's looking good eh!
