Boler reno day........ 2 weeks worth

So I have been so busy with the boler I have not had time to document the progress on bitsy. The body is back on the frame and will stay there with the stainless steel bolts I used. Was just #6 screws before so it should be overkill. Got the door off and the opening square and same width top to bottom. I had to pull the bottom in one inch. I was able to do this easily using the cable come along I bought like 5 years ago. Tania says I buy tools and never use them, well this time she was wrong.

Since we also don't plan on having a water tank or sink, I removed the inlet valve and glassed / bondo over the hole. Had to fix a couple other areas to so got that done. I am now at the point of being able to rock gaurd the underside and reinstall the door.

Roxy also just had to check my work and walk on the fresh paint, such a silly girl.

It's a nice feeling seeing all my hard work paying off. Can't wait to take her out for the first trip next month.
