Hello hello Then let's see what we can get done in the darkness today
We brought these things back here See the
car is full again Just bring it to the boat
Exactly and then we start tomorrow and have an exciting weekend ahead
Half past one we have arrived
We have everything prepared for now we have already loaded all the things here etc
We are going to bed now and we'll see each other tomorrow
Good morning Yes it's all set now let's get started
We still have a sleepyhead here
Hello good morning Morning
We arrived earlier right Yes
Yes as you can see I'm currently pulling down the old insulation
Another nice surprise up there
A small rust nest
I haven't looked at it more closely yet
It looks like an external screw connection
Probably something from some deck hardware
I'll take a look at it again right now But yes if
you do something there are
surprises everywhere A rust nest
I've taken a closer look at it now
And if you look at it there's a hole right in the middle
If I go in here a little bit it's really soft
So I strongly assume there was once some kind of hole here for whatever reason
And someone just filled this up
But neither waterproof nor anything else
Water has naturally seeped in over the years which is also visible
Because the entire wall has naturally rusted away
This must have run down nicely here Naturally annoying for
us We should take a look at how
much has rusted through here
No we don't need to put on a new record because it's already worn through
Because that's really several layers
But we'll take a look at that today during the day
Yes since we can't see it from the outside and I'd like to know already
It looks like that from above not that everything
here is completely rusted through and we need a completely new plate
I'll now open up the teak deck here to take a look at
it and get an overview Still
everything looks like this
You can clearly see here that where it is so
reddish the rust has already gotten through
I certainly didn't think about it in such a dimension
But yes as I said let's see
Yes Deck is on the page
Of course that's a mess it's now
more work than we originally planned
The advantage of a steel
boat is at least that's
what I was told you just take a new plate and weld it in
We need to take a closer look at this now
This also messes up our schedule a bit
But yes luckily we found it
If we had left all that and only looked at it during the trip
Then it would probably have continued to rot further
That's why I see it very positively
that we found it
It's not a huge hole but
it's still a hole and we
have to deal with it And how's it going with you
It's dusty really dusty here
But you're making progress aren't you
Yes I've now scraped off these
big rough chunks also with the
putty knife here And then just always with the steel brush
After that it was sanded down again
And I think I've caught the biggest things
and the rest one has to continue working on with the sander now
These are your robot sounds
I already treated the bathroom here with a steel brush
and scraped off the roughest spots with a putty knife
Smoothed off
And now it's time for the grinding so the actual sanding
But I have to take one step before that
and indeed I have here a friend
The Supercleaner
And the Supercleaner and I
we're going to go through this whole story now
So I'll just start from the top
and then work my way from top to bottom
Exactly and you just have to mix the whole
thing here in a cup with a specific ratio
I have some here looks like apple juice
And I just apply it here with a sponge
like this I didn't have anything else at the moment
but I think it will work
Then you have to rinse it with clear water
I've also already prepared my little bucket here
Well then I'll go back into this hot Kapoff here
My head is about to explode anyway
But luckily I also have a small Venti here
which always gives me a little bit of relief
While Steffi is busy polishing I am
occupied with more bathroom items down here
Hooray measure cut
Very very exciting
And then you're not paying attention for a moment
Police reinforcement has arrived absolutely crazy
Here you can clearly see Chief Inspector
I think they don't do it that way
Okay I don't know how they do it
But are you ready for the loop or
what Sure
Here is Steffi's construction work
It's a bit damaged from
all the sanding No I'm in great
shape Show me the cool gloves
How's it going
Yes I've already accomplished something
I've actually made pretty good progress so far
I then decided to also
So wear such a great white coat
Because here really all this dust is just being kicked up
by the color and all the stuff
And that's just everything sticking to it
I'm protecting it properly underneath but it doesn't matter
As long as it protects me from all this stuff here
Exactly I'm also using it now already
using 3 tools I can
show you that sometime
Namely I have here
I can't unfortunately use the technical terms
right now but this one
here This multitool I think
I have mainly done smaller jobs with this now
Then I even switched to the rust for this one
That actually worked out pretty well
I just polished it a bit more
and then sanded it down with the other one
And I did the large areas with this
So that works best there
Cheers again from my side
We had a demanding day behind us
A lot has been done especially a lot of polishing by Steffi
resulting in very good outcomes
Now we will make something to eat
We have something special planned for this weekend We actually brought
our small grill along and will now
have a little bit of a grill session
Enjoy a cozy grilled meat
Then spend another one or two hours sanding
and swinging the tool box
Yes Steffi and I still did a good job polishing yesterday
And we are now at the point
where we have definitely removed
all rust from two surfaces Just small paint remnants left
And I want to try something
I got a new primer from International
and it's a 2K system
I don't of course know how the previous owner painted the color
And if I had taken a 1K system
I heard that when a 1K system is overlaid
with a 2K system the
1K dissolves underneath
I certainly don't want to do that but I also don't
know what he used so we'll just have to try it now
Then we'll just see whether it works or not
I'm crossing my fingers that it works
Yes as you can already see here it already looks quite good one and
a half hours after the first
coat here You can see it clearly
Good news the old paint is not being removed
So either it's also a 2K paint or it's actually a fairy tale
That 1K paint dissolves when it is overcoated with 2K
What delights us now we have to steel
Not really remove a hundred percent of the old paint
but if there are just two or three spots without rust
We can confidently paint over it because what's underneath is really cool
And that's exactly how it looks now here
That means nicely done
Here below we will do that right away
Since that worked well above we will do the area as well now
We'll add another layer on top of that
Yes then it should fit quite well
And next time we'll continue again
So from a different perspective or at another spot
but a very nice spot We
drove to the marina next door
We used the pool here
Or we can use it too
Yes it's very relaxed here
After our small setback that we experienced this
weekend namely our boat We
unfortunately have this hole
But we just have to keep looking to see how we can
fix it Exactly
