First weekend of the start of Chances' restoration at Titchmarsh marine, Day One

 We have at long last been able to get to Chance and start working on her. Last week was a wash out as it did not stop raining long enough to get any work done on her. So it was a matter of doing planning instead and getting things sorted for this weekend. 

As you can see if you become a patreon @  https://www.patreon.com/Chance_1948 in that video the amount of work on the first day was not a lot, just removing bits and pieces out of Chance, also removing some of the rain that got in the boat as we have not had chance or the money to get a large cover for her yet. I have got a number of trestles and boards which I had spare in and around my workshop and yard. These are just the right height to work on the beam shelf and the deck. Now they are in place we can get on with the major repairs on the beam shelf and the sides decks. 

One job we will have to do is to shore up the aft deck and support it while we repair and replace the the whole deck structure over the coming months and also the transom framework before we are able to renew the transom skin once more. 

So today was sorting out a few things in and around the boat and tomorrow it will be sorting out the boat some more and laying a new temporary floorboards inside the boat so we can work on Chance safely. 

So now the major work begins.  We have at long last been able to get to Chance and start working on her. Last week was a wash out as it did not stop raining long enough to get any work done on her. So it was a matter of doing planning instead and getting things sorted for this weekend.
