Welding, sanding, painting..

 After a lot of non stop rain working 7 days/week 0700-2000 at boat,

  

3 (needs 6) layers Interprotect over Epifanes wash primer and epoxy filler  etc

using first 2x white and gray primer layer..

a lot of very uncomfortable muscle cramp in hands, feet etc day and night since a few days again makes life uncomfortable,

but learning 2 ignore it, so painting with cramped hands etc.. 


Chain plates more back and 2 side of boat because new mast spreaders (1.8m length) are pointing back 24deg..

 

And below deck...


batteries base/frames
1st white layer going on
2nd white layer on and more filler
etc

PROGRE$$..

😎😎



 Drilling up the holes of 'put corrosion' to get good aluminum edged holes 2 weld on..
 
 

 


BTW.. This cut out part is where through hulls of toilet in front were..  Toilet is moving 2 the back,

so the through hulls in front could better be taken out..

We will close this as last because now we have a nice way 2 communicate and see each other and pass things through..  works nice..  😎
