Removed exhaust/silencer and wrapped it in asbestos (pretend) then re-installed it. Hope I got all the connections tight to the 'Gairdner'.
Yes,I like the lagging Will,very realistic indeed.A dry exhaust such as that was great when new,kept the wheelhouse/galley toastie warm(a tad too warm in the Summer though),but when it was old and started to leak a wee bit...torture breathing in the fumes.I can still remember the taste in my mouth,sore eyes and a throat that was rougher than a hedgehog's ar*e after a week of that caper before we got a new silencer.As for stripping the old lagging off,it was like being out in a snowstorm! When ye think back on it,between that,breathing in exhaust fumes,anti-fouling paint fumes,fag and coal fire reek fumes plus bilges that stank of diesel at times,it's a bl*ody wonder we're still alive...must have lungs like leather
and were was the fkn health and safety man wen u needed 1 ronnie ?
A good job yon lot werenae on the go back then Kev,there wouldnae have been a boat at sea if they had been...between them and the rest of the "mair than ma job's worth" brigade they would have had the whole inshore fleet tied to the wall
Great to hear aboot your mis-spent youth as always, Ronnie. Aye, well cosy in the winter wi enough heat to dry oot and warm up the oilskins. (Got to make them yet)...........only cos I'm bored!
