Heavy metal



2.7 tonnes of iron to be precise!

It's been a week or more of continued scraping and sanding interspersed with jobs for customers but at last I can see to the end of the job

The port side is all but cleaned back to a good surface with perhaps another five days work to do on the starboard side

Then I'll need to fill all the dings and scratches to get a fair surface before applying proper marine epoxy followed by an undercoat and antifoul

The topsides will need touching up and buffing but I don't plan to spend too much time on that at this stage. A full repaint is needed really but not this year

Other news of note is that we've sold Erbas for a good price and finally exchanged contracts on a new house. Within a fortnight then we'll finally have completed the house and boat changes after nearly a year of stress and setbacks

PS there's not much point in my posting daily blogs at the moment. One day is the same as the previous and the next until we get to the end of cleaning back the hull
