Yesterday was wasted day as a result of the radiator company suppling 2 different pattens of radiator.
I can't tell you how pissed I was about this, especially as I didn't find out until I had already hung the first 3 and then they couldn't confirm if they could match the wrong ones. Turns out they can't, so this morning I spent 2 hours searching down the right ones elsewhere. Also the boat had stared leaking from the roof.
I thought the boat was fairly well sealed up. I had waterproof tape (supposedly) sealing the mushroom vent holes in the roof. Although I hadn't finished the hatch, it too up until a couple of days ago was keeping the weather out.
Then we got a shed load of rain, strong N.E'ly winds and this pushed water under the tape and in the gaps around the hatch.
So today I have silliconed plastic sheet over the holes and finished building the hatch. I suppose I should have finished it before now but there was no pressing need. So while waiting for the replacement rads it seemed the obvious job to do.
I feel a bit happier this evening.
Edit to add....... Looking out of the window this morning I think I'm going to be glad I did what I did yesterday. Its howling and raining big time. Probably was a good thing after all that the rads didn't come otherwise I still wouldn't have finished the hatch.
