after covering up the synthetic net/grid/fabric the clay plaster must dry out, which takes several days. Prescriptions say it will dry 1 mm a day. In the meantime the carpenters will go ahead with the wood work and later the bricklayer will return and finish off the plastering with a thicker layer.
More photos to come.......
Water pumps are not all created equal... The rusty one is the old one. I suspect it is a cheapo 1yr reman unit, even though the shop that installed it charged the owner top dollar. Note it has smaller blades on the impeller and has pressed-in hose connections... The seals failed just after a year - good timing on their part... :(
The new one is a new Master cast unit with a lifetime warranty. Note the wider impeller and cast hose connections...
Good surface prep is essential to a good seal. I needed this to go on right the first time and not leak as it is a pain to replace it. I used engine cleaner on all surfaces, followed by alcohol (including the new pump as it had a light film of oil on it to retard rust during shipment).
I used Permatex flexible sealer on both sides of the gasket, following the instructions well. Not a drop leaked after installation! Woo-hoo!!!

SA-209, a Saturn IB used briefly for the Skylab program, is being restored at the Kennedy Space Center. Here, the interstage section is being painted. The first stage is the only part that is still in its regular display position; the rest of the rocket has been moved off the display stands and separated, revealing sections of the rocket not normally visible while on display.
Note how I had to move the cable harness to make room for the coils (you can see it just below the frame above #1's wire.)

The restoration of the Cutty Sark is coming along with the masts being erected. Shame about the conservatory around the bottom as you will no longer be able to appreciate the lines of the hull.
The rest of Cutty Sark Gardens in Greenwich is still a building site.

The House
Restoration House as we see it today is the amalgamation of two medieval buildings which were combined in the late 16th or early 17th century to create a mansion house just outside the south east corner of the city wall of Rochester. It was neither a town house nor a country seat but shared features of both, not least being the political seat of its creator and first owner Henry Clerke. Henry Clerke and his son Francis, both ambitious lawyers, were both elected several times as Royalist members of Parliament for Rochester.
The Civil War during the 1640’s led to this property, which was central to their political effectiveness, being sequestered and occupied by Colonel Gibbon, Cromwell’s commander in the South East. However with the death of Cromwell in 1658 and the weakness of his son, Royalist forces began plotting to restore the deposed King’s son, Charles Stuart, exiled in France and Holland, back onto the throne.
From early 1660 plans were advancing and Rochester being the only crossing of the Medway on the road from Dover to London was a strategic consideration, more so with a large part of the nation’s fleet, much expanded under Cromwell, being moored at Chatham Dockyard nearby.
The mansion in the ownership of Royalist Francis Clerke and presumably with the cooperation of Colonel Gibbon, was fitted up to receive the young Charles and to act as his overnight base in Rochester, an important stage on his progress to London. With Charles were his two younger brothers the Dukes of York and Gloucester.
Over the past ten years the present owners of Restoration House have uncovered various parts of the decorative scheme which they believe were “run up” for the occasion. These provide fascinating examples of fashionable mid-17th century Continental taste seen through provincial eyes at a time when such innovations had been quashed by Cromwell. Thus the use of ‘French Grey’ paint, of paint effect ‘marbling’ and ‘japanning’, of the opening up of rooms through ‘French doors’ cut into earlier partitions were not only introduced for Charles’ reception but have miraculously survived under later layers to be now once more revealed.
I had this picture sent to me from my cousin. Up front is my Dad and 3 of his brothers on the right side.
Date of picture is unknown but likely in the late 1930's or early 1940's.
10 kids in total in the family living in a small farmhouse in Oldcastle, Ontario.
I thought I would attempt to update it and try to salvage some of the lost details.
I did lots of pixel-peeping to see what each adjustment was doing. My normal editing process went out the window - LOL.
GWR 2-8-0 3862 under restoration at Pitsford on 7 May 1995. Although looking well under way at this date the restoration of 3862 has proved to be long-running, and this loco is still being worked on at this location 23 years later.
3862 was completed at Swindon in November 1942 and was sent to Oxford shed. It ended up at Croes Newydd shed, from where it was withdrawn from traffic in 1965. 3862 spent 22 years at Woodham Bros scrapyard before being purchased for preservation at the Northampton and Lamport Railway.
The restoration project on the 1944 Commonwealth Wirraway is at the Fantasy od Flight Golden Hill Storage Facility located in Polk City Florida U.S.A.

Hangar 244 - former El Toro MCAS, future site of the Orange County Great Park.
Hangar 244 is a 1944 aircraft hanger which was later used by the Marines as the El Toro Museum. When the Great Park is constructed, Hangar 244 will be preserved and used again as a military museum and site for displaying an aircraft collection.

Designed by John Eberson as Loew's Theatre, the theater first opened its doors in 1928. The Loew's Theatre ended its days as a movie theater in 1979 and was restored and reopened in 1983 as a performing arts center, the Carpenter Center for the Performing Arts.
The Carpenter Center closed in late December 2004 for a $73 million renovation and restoration, becoming part of the downtown peforming arts complex known as Richmond CenterStage.

The day before the big day of cooling system restoration, I removed the overflow bottle, the small connecting hoses and clamps and cleaned them up well in the kitchen sink. They look new now!
The rad cap and lower radiator hose here are new repros. The upper hose was on BO...
New fuel pump, filter, and pump-carb line. This line from BAP was ill-fitting and had to be tweaked carefully a bit to fit right. That took 30 minutes...
But first I had to cut off the old line, as the nut at the carb was rounded and was totally stuck! I am guessing a gorilla tightened it!
When I first saw that rounded nut months ago, I knew the line would need replacement. The fuel filter housing was to be reused. It took a vice, a socket pounded onto the rounded nut, and a hammer to remove that stuck fitting. Geez....
My minor restoration of www.flickr.com/photos/tahphelan/518840100/in/pool-9060401...
Mainly I just brightened it up & removed some of the age discolorization from it. Some minor restoration with CS2's healing brush tool.
