....of the old fitout is left? Not too much after this last weekend. We got rid of all the remaining cabin lining on the side and most of the ceiling in the workshop. Next weekend will hopefully see the end of fibreglass removal. I think we're up to trip 30 in Mary's car to the local tip.

Here is the view mid way through the day.

Later on in the day we (well Mary really....) tidied up.

There is more rust than we'd all hoped, but Alan's team are working on it and she'll get fixed properly this time. Most of the rusting is down to letting things go, with deck leaks not being fixed and then rusting out just above the rubbing strakes. We need to think about insulation types, and given that we've now stripped the interior out, sprayfoam might be a good option. Anyone care to comment from personal experience?

There is a nice little tug moored behind us at the moment.

Along with a quite impressive sailing boat.

My friend Dave and his wife Marg of narrowboat 'Sleepy Hollow' popped by to see how we were doing. Richard dropped by and we've been chatting to the people at the local waterways museum where we tend to eat every time we're there now (my personal favorite is a 'Tom Pudding' - a giant Yorkshire pudding full of mash, vegtables and sausages). Its all becoming quite social and it feels like a safe place for Misterton to be for a while.

One of the guys from the museum found an old picture of her in her working days. Nice.
