The Door Saga Continues

There was a workday yesterday and in many ways it was a repeat of the last couple of days. Work is continuing on 547 and on the toilet area of 361.

Kevin spent the day working on the end platform of 547. He removed some of the timber that needs replacing and undercoated the metalwork.

Paul finished undercoating the interior if the toilet cubicle. It will get a colour coat over the next couple of workdays.

Jim removed some more of the lacquer on the exterior of the cubicle. It is hoped to have the cubicle finished well before the Christmas Party.

There will be another work day next Sunday.

Door and More

OK writing about a toilet door doesn't sound exciting but that is where most of the work happened yesterday. Work continued on the toilet section of 361.

Paul installed the latch etc. and it is all working properly. Paul reckons it needs a bit of an adjustment and he will look at again next time. He also commenced undercoating the interior.

Kevin prepared the trim moulding that goes along the panel above the door. Fortunately we have a fair bit of materials after the toilet in 343 was removed.

Jim and Paul stripped a lot of the lacquer off the outside of the compartment. It had many layers but is coming off quite well with plenty of stripper and a bit of effort. After sanding it looks good.

Paul prepared another cold collation for lunch which went down very well.

After lunch Kevin did some work on the end platforms of 547 and Paul and Jim continued of the exterior of the toilet.

More on the Door

There was a short workday last Sunday. Kevin and Paul did some work and planning on the end platforms of 547. There is still a bit to be done cleaning and painting the supports. Some repairs have been done and when this work is complete the new deck can be installed.

Paul started installing the latch on the new toilet door in 361. We already have the paint to finish the interior so that will be the next job. The exterior has been partially prepared. Some of the old lacquer has been stripped and sanded but there is still some to do.

Some of the committee members joined the workers for lunch, Paul had prepared a cold collation which was well received. After lunch everyone called it a day.

There will be a workday next Sunday as the weather is forecast to be fine and cool. Any help will be appreciated.
