Renovation of the North Signal Box at Boat of Garten – 17 to 19 June
With the scaffold erected we were now able to inspect the intermediate levels and the roof.
Firstly the edging timbers on each of the four roof edges were found to be beyond repair so suitable timber was sourced and these were replaced, meanwhile slipped and missing slates were dealt with and we were ready to start rubbing down the paintwork on the eaves. Most of this was was just flaking off.
More rotten mouldings were also identified and replaced where we could, but we are now awaiting a further supply of new mouldings to complete this job.
A large section of the main support pillar on the rear North corner was also rotten, so the rot was removed and treated with preserver, now awaiting the supply of more new timber.
The work team were Colin Frost, Ray Kenyon, Jim Pittendrigh and Mike Tough
