Job done


We only spent about an hour at the lake side today. This has been our base of operations. The stainless steel staircase used to run down to the left here. The dam is the big concrete lump on the left also, the concrete looking distinctly weathered and showing a whitened high water mark. I spent most of the morning on welding up the L shaped handrail with some little plate feet cut out from one of the old steps. I welded those on the the little landing through four 9mm diameter holes in each plate. Not an unpleasant spot when the sun is on it and even when the planet has put us in the shade the view is some compensation.
