CHERTSEY

BOATS, BRIDGES, BOILERS ... IF IT'S GOT RIVETS, I'M RIVETTED
... feminist, atheist, autistic academic and historic narrowboater ...
Likes snooker, beer, tea, rivets and solitude, and is strangely fascinated by the cinema organ.
And there might be something about railways.

Lunacy

I've been sent a lot of photos of something that looks like the surface of the moon...
More here of Chertsey having its nether regions cleaned up for closer inspection.

NB - That hole didn't appear spontaneously, in case you were wopndering... It's one of many drilled to assess the plate thickness, which, you can see in the photos, varies between two and five and a half millimetres.

    Correction, that's the worst bit of the bottom, adjacent to the new 12mm plate, part of a 4' section that's going to be overplated.

    Well, I think it's fair to say you won't be wasting your money in having the work done!!
    I'm waiting to see how the water is stopped from penetrating between the original and the overplate.
    I'll wait, please just take that as a hint for when the time comes :-)

    Well, I think I understand, but it might be best to wait and see the pictures!
