Rust and more roost

I thought today was going to be easy, a little light rub and paint. Saw the red stuff coming through, so here I am taking years of neglect away. Found a big hole that somebody thought it a good idea to fill with putty. So it has to be done properly this time, all rust and rubbish away, fill with metal, prime and then paint. Just a few more days work never planned for, but that's living on the water.

Sick of the weather

Windy, wet outside so no painting. Very frustrating as I wished it finished in a couple of weeks. Ordered a new diesel transfer pump, old one gone to the land in the sky for dead ones.
A couple of vents welded on top, at least the weather does not stop me here.

Started the painting regime, talk about the forth railway bridge! Best news is that we had our first barbecue so spring is here.
