Three coats, and notice I cant leave it alone....

first coat by 9:30, winnd did not pick up till I started spraying, ended up with a good bug texture all over it.

And tomorrow we paint, top half anyway

top is almost where we started, sealed but not waterproof yet.

Telegraph cove is a great launch, good fishing and whale watching (oxymoron I know) you are a quick ride to Alert bay and other great spots. Port McNeil is good and there is easy access to desolation sound, Rusty this is great steelhead country as well,on the other side you can go to Port...

Cape Scott is worth it, check the history from the second world war. A stop at Woss and you can see the the old steam train and they are still logging by rail. Telegraph Cove has a nice campsite and is a must visit on your way as well.

back was better than the front.Why am I doing this?

Two days, and alot of cussing top is back on, I made it square and plumb should have copied it all from original as the roof line is off abit.

New front panel bent and installed using marine adhesive sealant, now we wait 72 hours, rear panel has been prepped and installed as well.

disassembled,cleaned with brake clean and redone with new o rings and some sil glide

jack removed

rear frame is done, all wood is tight grain fir and that should be as far apart as we go, rear panel has been touched up and patched up, sanded, tsp and the inside is coated...show more later

All off, two pieces, note the lift cylinder, will have to split it and pull the ram out then the cylinder out the bottom as the counter does not allow for it to come out the bottom.

Yuk worse back here than I thought,saw zall and cut through the screws and nails

door and frame panels off, die grinder and round bit got both sides.

.JPG] not sure if the picture will work but I took a die grinder and a round bit and ground the ends off, worked really well and the only issues came when I was rushing it pulled the siding off, then the nail ends with vise grips.

I was going to post this question to the O ring replacement but this may be better. Has anyone used a quad seal instead of o rings? I have two of the cylinders re done but am not happy with one I think the center is belled, I could heat and hone or try a metric o ring, but was thinking a quad...

I see your on the island, for the ram repair you should try Smith Brothers in Victoria, as for the caps ask Sean at Greggs Dist.
