First Consuta work party of 2012

 

Saturday January 21st and it was quite warm sitting outside the shed in the sun.

There was a good turnout of some twelve people; a few shown here having a tea break. Sorry we don't have any more pictures.

Other work was to clean out the bilges (again), clean up the engine and clean brass fittings (as always).

Ten of us went on for a pub lunch and a bit of a chat; a splendid day out.

The boiler is still outside which means access is a bit restrictive.

John however removed the pressure gauge stop cock which broke off due to crystallised cracking (glad it didn't happen while in steam), so replacement or repair are options?
