Still on the Sill

Work continued on the window sill yesterday. We have progressed to the 1st Class end of the car. Half the windows in that section were removed and repairs to the sill were carried out. We were disappointed to find it was in worse condition than we had expected. There were several areas that had been previously repaired with plugs or filler. Many of these had to be redone. A first coat of filler was applied, it will be sanded and a second application made next workday. It was left to set as the weather had turned cool and with light showers.

There was a comment that from the photos people will think only Alan does any work. There is not totally true, everyone else gets out of shot quickly. In this shot Alan is sanding the sill as Kevin moves not quite quickly enough to be out of the photo. Paul and yours truly were also there. (Click on the picture for a larger image).

Quote of the day - "that screw was holding by a thread" - Kevin as he removed a very rusted screw holding on the windows.

There will be an exciting announcement in the next couple of days so call back again soon.

There won't be a workday for a couple of weeks. Next weekend is the Air Show and traffic will be a mess around the area (if you're coming to the show use the train). The following Sunday will be Scarecrow Festival at Kurrajong, drop by if you can. We will be back here on 5th November. As always check the calender on this page.
