With 80% of the port hand side almost complete! I'm only a few weeks away from completing the starboard hand side. I didn't get time to sand blast the beams. All the antifouling is stripped off and the top sides have been sanded down.

12th Feb, The day after my birthday. Spent most of the day with face mask and goggles on. Grinding away the paint on the beams ready for deck welding. Used the plasma cutter today and cut away the bottom inch of the coach roof sides ready for the decks to be tucked under. Once decks are on the coach roof sides will need replacing. This will give me a chance to slightly reposition the windows as the spray hood overlaps the window frame.
