Head Job

I reported earlier on the woeful state of the platform supporting the marine toilet in the head. 

Bruce did his usual outstanding job of designing and building a new support as well as preparing the floor for painting.  The work was not as easy as it sounds and required a good knowledge of glues, fillers, and coatings.

Early in the week Bruce gave me the "all clear" for moving in and painting the area.  I had already prepared, primed, and painted the ceiling  bulkheads and various recesses with the usual "No Rust" primer and two coats of "Northane" 2-pack paint.  By Thursday evening the toilet and floors areas were painted and I handed the head back to Bruce for procuring and installing a new marine toilet.
