In the interest of fairness, I've asked this over on the dark side too ;-) so If you don't mind the "copy and paste"
Afternoon all,
Something has dawned on me today whilst walking around in the rain... My plan was to paint the boat as soon as we got her - not a problem in the original plan as it would have been early summer.
Since we moved things forward, we'll get her in October/November all being well...
Does anyone know of any sheds we can hire for a week around that time of year, not too far from the mooring which is Stanley Ferry on the Aire & Calder navigation?
I'd really like to get her protected BEFORE the winter sets in and it'll have to be a diy job as the boat fund is "fragile"
cheers.

Castleford boatyard 01977513111 Shane or Dave should be close enough to you?

I spotted on their website about diy blacking so I've emailed to see if they can facilitate diy painting too - the weather (or more likely temperature) may be against me given the time of year.

Shot blasted mine in there last year then sprayed it with zinger afterwards going back in there this year with a mate to do some other work whilst he does his blacking etc try ringing him you will get a better response as they can be busy

The nearest one to you is at Elland, and I'd be grateful if you didn't drain the Elland pound before I get through - I've been waiting long enough.

But this is a very nice place to be postponed. Pub fights every night, and as much black pudding as you can stuff your face with!
