The title tells it all really, but other things were happening. Chris persevered with the Mogo ......
The top corners are being replaced with 3mm plates, once they are shaped to the hole they will be fully welded into place.
Derek resumed his battle with 13326, removing the last bit of old floor at the corridor connection. Before we start any end removal, the door pillars will be replaced which will help to support the roof while we remove crash pillars etc. Although we have decided an extra bespoke support will be in place as well.
Still with 13326 Trevor and Rod are refitting a door, they have worked their magic on this one .....
This a little earlier with Ben assisting fitting the inner panel, before it is hoisted into position.
No blog is complete without Geoff and Colin aka 'The Chuckle Brothers', two of our carpenter team.
Inside 1675 its beginning to look less cluttered, behind Rex you can just make out Gerry he is removing another window frame. We are removing every frame and repairing any corrosion , however small. This old girl is 62 years old, so she should last another 62 years.
Bryan has spent a lot of time aligning the side skirts, so as not to have a rippled look. It is paying off.
Rex and Gerry's work on the window frames, as a team we work very well, they cut and prepare and all I have to do is weld into position.
Magnets, clamps whatever it takes to hold the work in position.
After collecting gas cylinders, John V and Ken A set about welding the very long runs of lower skirt panels. The trick is move about so as not concentrate too much heat in one place, and avoid warping.
Our upholstery team hard at work.
And finally because its Cheltenham festival week, I had to include the first train of the day ..... P&O looking fantastic.
