5-9 April Slow Bell

There was no hot work accomplished from Monday through Thursday. The painters prepped Monday and primed Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday, there were still too much fumes. Friday saw the last wide plate on the stern being fitted up. The three deteriorated panels in the wing bulkhead in the forward end of number 4 starboard outboard compartment were cut out. The three section bottom panel for compartment 2 was surveyed and is good to go. The big four section bottom panel for number 4 is expected to be broght on the drydock next week. The section of landing barges and the two drydocks, one of which the SNYDER resides, are slated to be moved to the new facility on Saturday.
