Blog halted by Google screw up

I can post pictures except from my Google online storage, which I don't have or doesn't exist.

I am debating migrating my blog to another site as this sort of bullshit pisses me off.

Today, I helped my friend Ron by finishing off a job of fairing parts of his hull.  I'm only too glad to help him as he is helping me finish my interior.  All that is left of this many day project is to do the final sanding--ten minutes tops tomorrow.

As for ECHO, I trimmed many exposed screws projecting out of the forward bulkhead in the salon.  It seems the former paneling was attached from the other side which is no longer accessible.  I used a dremel tool and a pair of pliers.  Next I sanded both port and starboard side.  I removed most of the paneling, but much of the glue remained.  I found a few more screws and small bronze nails and also discovered a 36" section of tabbing that joined to pieces of plywood had delaminated.  I used a grinder with 60 grit to clean up all the remaining glue, and to cut out the damaged section.

I followed this up with tabbing in a piece of stitched mat tape to replace the one I removed.  I used fast hardener and put a piece of wax paper on top to help hold it in place and also to squeeze out any air pockets I could see.  I think it will be fine tomorrow and won't need any sanding unless the was paper sticks.

I have photo's but can't upload them.


Finally, I test fitted my new tank cover--it is 1/4" too short, but otherwise a welcome addition to making the floor level.
