Well Sir . . . I had a couple of weeks off with other commitments and for the last week or so I've been doing , what I call, some of the fiddly stuff. None of it very exciting I'm afraid and now spring is upon us and the rain stops on occasions I have been trying to get the so called garden organised . . hee hee.
Also the oven element blew up, a central heating pipe joint failed, the boiler fan gave out, the front gate needed replacing, I've some fascia boards that need repairs and I've got a sore tummy . . . still the sun is out and it's getting warmer and I should be out walking !
So Fireman Rick . . you've not got rid of me just yet
That's just kitchen foil around the lower part of the main mast. The rudder hinges need 3 more 'bolts' prior to priming. One side rail is in the former while this one (alongside the template) is having its joints filled and made ready for priming, tons of drilling, painting . . and the two tiny 'fashion' pieces at the junction of the transom planking and side planking . . . WORKED. And they are now being sanded down flush prior to having a finish applied.
