Spent some time tidying the shed in the area where I’ve been working on the steps.  Before they can be finished, I need to reattach the cladding where the handrails fit so I can see  how the lino and nosings need to fit.  This means I need to finish the front bulkhead repair so I have been finishing the filler off and removing paint from around the small front bulkhead window with a view to painting it all in one go with red oxide.  If I can get the rubber glazing gasket away from the metal with string and mask it properly, I may spray the whole of the bulk head.

Also today I fitted the wood finisher for the bottom step, filled the screws and the then cut ends then painted it black.  Second coat probably tomorrow late morning.
