on my annual maintenance program for Sjogin. The major project this year is stripping the house sides and cabin top along with renewing the brightwork. Over the last week or so I finished removing paint and have started in the other direction.
Also find below a variety of pics taken over the last few weeks.
Pics follow:
All the sealing has been done; epoxy on the old canvas and Pettit Sealer on the house and hand rails.
My paint stripping tools. There’s a piece in this month’s WoodenBoat about making handles for Red Devil scraper blades. The bent file can cut both ways and is handy for lifting old paint. It also makes a great seam cleaner as it can shave the sides of the seam back to clean wood.
The house all primed as well the bare spots (many) on the topsides. The Yard will do the bottom.
The view from forward.
September beds. It’s pretty much a plant eat plant world now.
September 11th at Our House.
Finally, back to Sjogin for a snap of her masthead and fly.
