The major component welding is completed. Work this week was attacking the Punch List and crawling the compartments for odds and ends. Removing an eye here and there. Grinding weld scabs etc.Welding up pinholes in different areas. Putting on cover passes on the bilge knuckles and facing of the false bow.
The interior color of the compartmernts can be matched to the paint preservationist color chip and the paint so orderd.
The tow knee reconstruction is still progressing slowly but should be accomplsihed by the middle of next week.
Scot Lepi and his crew had 50 per cent of the paddle wheel completely done and all the spokes and buckets on the other half installed by the time they left Thursday. Scot took the two brass sea chests back to his shop to sand blast the primer off of them. They will then go to Marietta to the museum.
