Feeling the pressure?

...not yet but 326 soon will be!

Having had a nice weekend off from school (what we in the boarding school environment call a weekend off - what every normal, sane person would call a normal weekend) I returned from walking and scrambling in the Lake District via my parents’ pad in Lancashire to borrow the pressure washer and to collect the maintenance charger that's been sat at home for ages to keep the battery that's sat here under my desk in the study topped up and ready for action.

So, as and when allows - probably when terms ends - I'll jet wash the old girl all over. That way the body might look cleaner than it has done for years (handy rotary brush car washing tool!) and the underside will be ready for wire brushing in places and repainting. The other job for Christmas will be stripping the rear roof and maybe treating the wood underneath if needs be, pending me considering what to recover it with when time and money allows. Not fussed on roofing felt not the original lino. I've heard of someone who has used pukka EPDM roofing rubber - not cheap but waterproof and less slippy maybe. Has a track record on Green Goddesses:

I think the only jobs to be done before then (along with many end of term reports...) will be to get along to drain the heat exchanger off (before the temps drop) and maybe to hoover then wash / clean the cab. Essential? Nope. Will it make me feel better when I see it? Yup!
