Window treatment!






For the last couple of weeks, the windows on the boat have been re-bedded.  The process involves removing the old screws, the ones that hold the window in place, removing the window, scraping the old gook off the windows, then cleaning - making sure the residue and/or any dirt is off, adding a new adhesive to the edges, then placing the windows back with new stainless steel screws.  The boat has over 20 windows, so this process has taken some time, as it takes two people to get the windows back in place.  Also, it needs to be done on a day that it is not raining.  Finally....it's done!  One more thing off the long list.  



Shows 2 of the many screws that had to be removed from each window....this pic also shows the boat needs a good bath....bird poop! 



Now that the windows have been re-done, it's time for a good vacuuming and wipe down on the inside, to get rid of some of the dust and fiber particles that have coated everything on the inside, from the grinding.  So that's my job for today.  Am hoping it will not be too hot today, as I have been acclimated to working in AC and not use to working in > 80 degrees!
 




While I was working on removing screws from the windows, Frank is busy grinding, one of his least favorite things to do on the boat.
