Mar. 15, 2006 - bit of time off |
Managed to get tommorrow afternoon, and all day Friday off work, so more scraping coming up......
SWMBO is coming along at the weekend, so thats 2 hands to get the jobs done.... she's volunteered to set too with scrubbing the topsides, and then using Farecla G10 to get them perpared prior to using the Poliglow cleaner and then polish to get a real shine.... (that'll be a job for the future yet I suspect....)
Also on the list (for SWMBO should she get that far - or me otherwise!) is to gently wet and drying down the painted stern in prep for a re-paint, and also cleaning up the prop..... a gentle wirebrush off, and then wet and dry in increasing grades until it reaches a fine shine!
More piccies to come soon! |

"SWMBO is coming along at the weekend, so thats 2 hands to get the jobs done"
Normally, if there are 2 of you, that would make 4 hands in all? Or are her hands getting the jobs done while yours do something else?
We've got a mega grandson-sit this weekend, so could maybe bring lots of hands to help.On the other hand(s), the youngest is not yet 5 yrs old, and the idea of him and a scraper near water is probably not on.
Enjoy your weekend! |

OliveOyl...
Naturallly, I am talking about 'ships hands'.... lol
Or probably more realistically, we'll only be using one hand each, while the other holds a cup of coffee, which will be in permanent supply, to ward off the cold weather that this beautiful spring brings us....
Good luck with the grandkids..... our parents are taking responsibility for C&M this weekend..... not sure which ones to worry about the most... ;) |
