Hot again today but below 30C so I was able to repair the steel frame of the forward-facing, bulkhead-mounted large entance vestibule window by welding in a new strip along the bottom. This had rotted due to its contact with the aluminium beading that runs horizontally below the two windows on the front bulkhead. Hopefully I shall be able finish preparing the window and paint it tomorrow.
Work today was limited but involved removal of the beading around the front bulkhead window, partially achieved and removal of the brass screws holding the left-hand side of the window frame to the woodwork. Hopefully the window will be out tomorrow and I can deal with the steelwork.
