The heat gun worked quite well on softening it, we've spent about fifty hours over the last week removing the stuff.
Not a pleasant job.
Half filled a 200 litre (40 gallon,) rubbish bag with the stuff.
Errol finished the squabs yesterday arvo, so this morning I took it back to Nigel Fraser in Opunake to get another leak we've found sealed.
The mirrors should be painted and ready to reinstall too.
I absolutely hate trying to reverse without them!
You've got to rely upon someone else to give you directions...and you're waiting for the bump.
It goes to the electrician (Richard Cardiff,) in Okato for the interior lighting to be got ready for the reinstallation of the ceiling, (although before that's done we've got to do the insulation) and after the electrician it goes to Merv Lucas to programme the computer properly.
While it's at Merv Lucas's the Sign Shop say they'll put the graphics on it.
Then it's back out to Waitara for Kurt Broker to reinstall the ceiling.
Somewhere in there I'm hoping Dave Kinberg will come to light with the seat belts.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
