The last few days have been spent painting the repaired frame  woodwork battleship grey.  Today the rearmost nearside window aperture was dowelled and primed ready for top coat.

The replacement flitch plates I manufactured last week were fitted today.

   This is the first one.

The originals were completely corroded and causing bulges in the aluminium cladding.  One more remains to be fitted this side.

This month’s work so far has been the continuing repair of stripped screw holes and removal of broken screws.  Today was priming the woodwork ready for top coat in a few days’ time.   Yesterday I made replacement flitch plates out of 3.5mm galvanised steel, drilled and countersunk then etch primed and painted green to protect where the galvanising was damaged by working the material.
