Work progress

Last Thursday was a perfect day for painting, and today was nearly as good. I used a small paint brush, instead of a roller, so went much more slowly, but today's aim was to get the primer between the planks and on to the caulking before Paul did the stopping up. The top sides are now ready for that!



Meanwhile Paul was working beneath the water line, running the caulking then forcing it between the planks with the caulking iron.





He also lifted the copper tingles where they cross the planks, and caulked beneath them. He got me to prime the bare wood immediately, and will put on mastic and nail the tingles back when he comes tomorrow.


Only the stem and stern need caulking now, then it's on with the putty!
