a fairground life(odd jobs)

It seems that my whole life revolves around doing odd jobs. Every day there is a small maintenance task to be done. Most of the time I like doing the wee jobs that keep thing ticking along smoothly, especially if they improve or make easier some other task. Over the last two weeks I have been stripping out the fibreglass car seats on the skydiver. Then the steel frame is stripped of the old paint or rust, inspected and then painted with a metal primer paint with corrosion protection properties. Finally the fibreglass seat is spray painted with a black enamel paint. The painting came about because the seats were all origionally colour impregnated, but the sun bleached them and they went faded and patchy looking and this made the seats look dirty. I did think about moulded foam inserts and sourced suppliers for a quote. The best one I got was £35 for each back and £35 for each base. Great I thought , new cars for £700 +vat, then the kicker-it was £10,000 for the two moulds!!! Oh well, back to basics and £20 for a gallon of paint. Any how I have done 9, only one more to go. I also got that tyre fitted today. Tomorrow I will start on the Foden lorry preparing it for the annual MOT.
