Waiting for Paint to Dry

Wednesday 13th November 2019

2 on Monday and 6 On Wednesday , numbers are dwindling on the volunteers who turn up, must be the Weather , only the few brave the cold winds and rain.

Monday saw Dave extend the power to the old paint store Portakabin, this is where Peter K will be constructing the spear fencing panels in the near future. 

Afterwards he went back to the workshop Portakabin to paint the top capping of the Hayles Abbey Halt Board.

Wednesday was a cold and windy day so everybody found a job inside except for Clive who had a go at treating the fence going up the drive. its going to be one of those " Forth Rail Bridge jobs "

The one bench we couldn't put undercover ( its bolted down ) was wrapped up for the winter.

The letters on the board were screwed on by Peter Q and Dave. Screw holes filed and then rubbed down, parts of the board were still wet from Monday so we have left it for another week .

Peter K and Tony cleared the remaining  " Stuff " out of  Portakabin 3 and then started to put together the jig for spear fencing.

Peter Q and Brian did a bit of housekeeping around the old pile of stair parts .

The old stairs treads were neatly put into piles and then covered by the sheet of flooring. To their dismay Neal turned up and said " could I have the one at the bottom " ten minutes later it was dug out and the pile then reinstated.

And that was it for another week , there are other jobs to be done but  a bit more heat ( for painting ) would be nice and having no a no rain forecast in the next couple of days ( for other jobs ) would also be nice.
