Thursday the 8th of May and sumner has arrived so T shirt weather. 

Taylors office new wood required a coat of dark stone as the white undercoat was a bit glaring

Then it was time to move the Scammell as they need the area for delivery of traction engine for the gala weekend.

Greg has been touching up the cream paint around the windows. 

The solar panel keeps the battery topped up so a gallon of petrol in the tank, prime the carb and it bursts into life.

A drive down to Hayles Abbey halt to finish off the shelter varnishing.

It was the back to Toddington for a tidy up of Taylors windows and a sweep around with weed pulling.

After a rub down and paint on 3 windows

Nature makes a mess so a tidy before the gala

The back of Boxford has suffered from the prevailing weather  so a rub down fill and repaint is required

Taylors leaky roof joint is dry enough for sealant removal and new sealant to be applied

Greg has finished the ticket sign which now looks like new as 1/3rd was missing

Final job was the compressor guard welds were dressed and sharp points removed the de rusted and primer applied ready for painting red.
