Beautiful Day For Hatch Cover Maintanence

So much for weather forecasts from BBC. According to them it should have been cold and grey today, but I was pleasantly surprised to be sitting on the lovely foredeck of Dark Horse scrapping away at old Sikaflex with John and Adam. It was a great way to spend an afternoon!

Ruth took some time selecting the right tool. In fact she kept complaining she had the wrong tool. Unfortunately it is just one of those jobs there is no perfect tool. She even tried beating the mastic with a spanner. I must admit I felt like doing the same at times

Finally just about finished

Now, tomorrow we will find out if our fridge works...keep your fingers crossed. I know that Peter, the electrician, was anticipating pops, buzzing and just perhaps a blow from the old thing, but I remain optimistic.
