I was furious last night because of what had happened earlier and because of a combination of that and a large pot of coffee that I consumed during the evening while watching the UK Championship snooker, when I went to bed at shortly after 1.00 am, I just couldn’t sleep. As a result, I was up at around 4.00 am cutting out the new roof plastic for the Savannah \ud83d\ude15<\/p>\n

I managed to get to sleep when I went back to bed but still awoke at about 8.15 am, so not a very restful night. I finished off drilling the new roof plastic that I’d cut out earlier and left for Malbec after a delayed breakfast.<\/p>\n

I went resolved to completely remove the roof panel that I’d all-but completely fitted yesterday as I knew that it would be very difficult fitting the roof window with it half-in because of the danger of geting everything smeared with silicone. I also reasoned that if I completely removed the panel and started again, it would give me a chance to re-touch the painted areas around the rivet holes that would inevitably get damaged when the rivets were drilled out.<\/p>\n

It turned out to be a good move because although it was a long job, this time everything went smoothly and I got the roof and new window panel fitted by the end of the day. Here are the shots of the finished job.<\/p>\n

I still haven’t fitted the new switch panel because Victor dropped by just as I was finishing attaching the roof and when I was done, I went off for a cup of tea with him and Madeleine. This now leaves just the screen seal and panel top covering to be done, so about another couple of days work. However, I will have to stop for now because my son is arriving for a long week-end later in the week and I have some preparations to make in advance of his visit. <\/p>\n

So a bit frustrating but I’m glad to have the Savannah closed-up and weather-proof again, and much as I’d like to, it won’t be ready to fly until I’ve finished off the outstanding work. I’ll sleep better tonight, I think \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
