Smokey burning bitumen as the deck is cut orf .... pretty chokey too....phew
Nice tats Ross
and heave ho off it goes..
Measure three times .......
cos we can only cut once !!!!
but then it had to be cut in half down the middle to get it in place...with a hole for the water tank (now back in situ underneath) filler .
Many thanks to get this much needed job done. Much smoke from burning bitumen, but off it came to reveal a large triangular water tank .... still full of water !!! that was a surprise, but it does mean that it is sound and no leaks ha...syphoned it out and now ready to slide it out of the hull so that I can complete the Waxoil treatment.....
New fittings are all that is needed for the tank but the original brass filler might be recoverable hopefully.....So next week her new front deck will have its 2 coats of Hammerite smooth black whoooopydooooo......providing the weather allows me to get it done in time...
