Ok thanks.
I was invited here by Sue as I'm organising some meet ups.
She set my login and account up. I know nothing about how it works!
Sorry to hijack the thread......

Hi. So had a busy week with work but managed another good day or so of sanding,filling,more sanding etc etc.. I’ve now stripped all the fixings off her (what a job that was,not one bolt or screw came off anywhere near easy) and filled the holes,another bit of filling should finish this phase of the job.I’ve decided to sand down the bottom half aswell and give that a repaint,what’s best for this as it’s kept on a trailer and only used in fresh water? Antifowl or marine gloss? I’m thinking of replacing the windows too so will be after advice on that at some point

Happy Easter,stay safe

Thanks,I’ve enjoyed it..
Got most the bits back on today and decided to fit a bilge pump I’ve had lying about.Went for grey inside and may do the door dark blue.Gave out rain all week now so the Mrs has got me back for a while. Mark.
