Workday Report

Work proceeded on the window sill of 547 yesterday. After the preparatory work on the last work day we cleaned up and sanded the area to be repaired. Some filler was applied to even out the surface. We concentrated on the centre section as that was the worst area and was the section we initially thought may need to be replaced. However we found it was quite solid with only some surface damage.

After the filler had set it was sanded back and a second coat applied to cover the areas we had missed the first time. Again it was left to set and then it was painted with undercoat. That's what Alan is doing in the photo as Paul hold the ropes from the tarp clear. The photographer risked life and limb hanging out of the carriage window to capture this shot!

Next week we will remove the remainder of the windows and finish the rest of the sill. It is in reasonable condition and very little if any filler will be needed. the end posts and then sides will be the next job when the sills are finished.
