A very good day with a lot achieved.  A full turn out of the core team plus three LTHS committee members.  Paul Jim and I concentrated on drilling and countersinking the first two rubbing strips that go round the window rail.  This took till well after lunch but by afternoon coffee break we had got both of them cleaned off, de greawed and painted in primer.  They may get fitted next week. 

Bernard and Stephen carried on bending the waist rail rubbing strips and got one finished and the first bend in the other. These need bending in two planes as the outside face of the waist rail isn't vertical but the return along the end panels is horizontal.

After Coffee Jim and I got the D end platform floorboards fitted and masticed in place and then fully screwed down with 42  2" No 12's.  they shouldn't shift and they are now nice and tight after 2 weeks drying out at Jim's house.    It's great to get the floor fixed and to be able to walk on it. 

Next week, weather permitting it's hopefully going to be the day we refit the roof structure.  I just hope my camera has been mended by then.
