November rain

I would go on about the rain, but I don't want people to think I'm some kind of anorak.


But it's been raining.


I haven't got much painting done.




It has been raining though.


I still havent got the doors on.


It has been raining though.



I managed to get a tarp over the back of the boat, and to stop it blowing off. The rainwas still getting in though. I got the engine bay dry enough for one coat of zinc phosphate primer, but the following day the eninge room had "filled up" again.




Last weekend we went up to the lakes, yes, the weekend of the floods - it was very quiet. Had to go up anyway to scatter Troggs' ashes. And drink some beer of course.



I've just bought a generator off ebay for £160 theat will give me mains 2.8kW and 12v for battery charging. I will find a wet vac to clear out the rain, and I can rig up some lighting. Hopefully I will then be able to get some painting done.




Tempting though it is to get the engine in, I want to get plenty of coats of white paint in the engine bay beforehand.
