First Job

At last a calm day so that the tarpaulin could be opened up without it being blown across the village! The first job that needed doing was to remove the outboard bracket as it had been rubbing against the tarp and could have made a hole in it. Mike had padded it with an old fleece until we could remove it and today was just the right weather. Hamish had to be in on the act of course ...

and then while I lay on my tummy in the well holding a spanner on the nut, Mike managed to unscrew the bolts which were holding it on. One removed bracket ...

and just a few holes in the wood as evidence that it had been there ...
