The worn out seats upstairs on Dirty Girl have been a thorn in Gerry's side so he's decided to recover them with sunbrella. This could take a while.
First, disassemble the port side:
 |
| The worst part, sun totally destroyed the vinyl. |
 |
| The wood had been replaced in Florida. |
The small seat on the starboard side was so rotten he decided to throw it out. I discovered that all that rotting material was the cause of the stains that run down the stairs.
 |
| Wood had not been replaced in Florida. |
 |
| Finally gave up and ground the damn bolts off. |
The photos don't show the truly disgusting condition this seat was in nor how extremely difficult it was to remove.
 |
| Trying to hold the nuts holding the bolts on (arm still hurt days later). |
I could barely reach the nuts (and got bruised for my trouble) through the holes and dropped a wrench. Of course it fell well out of reach but we got it back out. Gerry shone the flashlight into the cavity which allowed me to see it through the fabric in the bathroom ceiling. I banged the ceiling and jostled it over to where he could reach it. Who woulda thought?
He decided to remove the rarely used cooler thing while we were at it.
 |
| Bolts didn't give us any trouble. |
