April 2008

So good progress has been made this month with the front framework being completed and the front blind boxes all going in. These were all in remarkably good condition with little attention needed to get them working again, the pply wood however was certainly a different matter! The last part of the body framing is going in as can be seen with the lower sections that hold the drainage holes all having gone in, obviously as this is a natural water gathering point the wood in these areas no longer even existed. Work has now started on the rear blind box and a couple of pictures are included showing it being broken down into its individual parts, such as the ultimate blind. All these will be thoroughly overhauled refitted to the new ply and the original frames and put back, the side blind will follow. The next job after that will be fit to fit some of the lower upstairs interior panels but this is all for next month and with Peter, the chap working on this having a weeks holiday the next update will be around June 15.
