The patch was about 3' x 2' and only took about an hour to sort, its getting to the point where rot doesn't bother or upset me anymore and it doesn't surprise me as much as it did.
While chopping the old timber out I had to cut the old screws out of the chine using an angle grinder, however I slipped and for one nasty minute I thought I'd chopped my finger off. I had a sick feeling in my stomach and it took me all my effort to look at it.
Thankfully the finger was still there, but I'd cut a groove in it, the below picture doesn't really do it justice, the wound was sealed by the heat of the grinder so there wasn't much blood.
I've also managed to get more paint on the inside front cabin, it looks so much brighter and cleaner as a result. You can see the small heater that I've been using to keep the damp off at night and help the water based paint to dry.
I also had a bit of a clean up around her and bagged up all the rubbish that I had been accumulating in her and under her. Looks like I'll be doing a few trips to the tip.
