Lake Belcher Hut Repair

Wednesday 8 May 2013

The amount of work done was very pleasing   The northwest facing  wall was done by 11.15 and about 10 boards from the back wall off by lunch. A few boards from the front were also done as well as the four fascia boards. Also added a few roof screws as well. Improved the bunks and built a small table out of a few scrap leftovers.  There are only 9-10 boards left to be done. The hut (again! ) was quite messy. We left at 3 and I carried out the aluminium chopper rudder- bit of an effort but Greg was determined not to leave it behind.
 
Some sections  of the track will need trimming, not to mention a few litres of paint after a good rub off with a wire brush. A bit of snow around. I'll need to get some tuition re loading the photos. Dave suggested some flashing to finish of the fascias.
