Freaking Out
Sunday, May 18, 2008 at 08:18PM We went back up to do some more work on Misterton this weekend. Mary was keen to de-rust and treat the roof, and she did a great job (and will need to continue to do so.... :) The fruits of her labours can be seen here.
My original plan was to try and empty out the front crew's quarters (underneath the front deck) where I plan to put some water tanks. However, that looked too hard, so we set about further examination of the interior. Its not good. The previous owners must've had access to a giant chipboard empourium, as they've used it for both the floors and the walls. This isn't the best material for a boat, so it all has to come out. What was revealed behind looks bad, but really was to be expected - lots of flaking paint and rust on the hull sides.
Some pictures of the carnage below.
To paraphrase that American Military commander in Vietnam ' we had to destory the boat to save it'

Pics still are not showing in RSS or in fact on the website yet, only the roof. maybe you are still uploading?
Can't wait to see the carnage, can you start doing some Grand Designs style interviews with you and M...when will you be living on it? Is there a lot of work etc ;-)
Yeah pics are now there on website...need some patience. Not on RSS though
I've tweaked the RSS feed, so see if that helps. The trouble with all the RSS stuff is its representative of our different ages. I'm happy to go out and look for stuff, whereas you kids want it all delivered to you. :)
Wow, that is ... massive ... It looks a mission, but wow it's gonna be cool!!
is there somewhere for me to come and crash? on your rss pad?
