Hey #Boativerse ! Looking for a welder around E5 on the Lea for a small but critical job overplating the chimney hole in my roof, which is oversized, corroded, and preventing the install of a new wood burner. Thanks for any leads 🙌

Photo from long ago when I was restoring our (former) boat and caught a minor varnishing obsession.

Nicely shows what a difference sanding vs scraping with a card scraper makes.

And the final result after varnishing, of course :)

workboat mentality in #theBoatyard if you hit it with the big sander and it stays put, just consider it good and prime over it. #Perelandra

Some of the plumbing aboard #Perelandra that was used to deliver pressurized water aft to the shower and sink. I'll simplify as I refresh in #theBoatyard It was on the engine room bulkhead.

#Perelandra is full of 1990 high tech stuff like this Quad-Cycle battery monitoring system from Cruising Equipment. It does still work. There seem to be a lot of vintage tech fans on mastodon and I felt I just had to share since there's rainbow ribbon back there! Here's a peak behind the panel. #theBoatyard

My first project on Perelandra was to build a gantry over the engine room and hoist her Perkins 4.236 into the cockpit. This way it was a one-person job. Once safely blocked I was able to address rust in the bilges below. #perelandra #sailing #theboatyard
