Today was the first day of this weekend and as I said in my last post, spent most of the day painting the framework. What relieves me is that after backbreaking effort, the paint is all complete and to my satisfaction. Areas that will be submerged in water got more than two coats and the rest of the portion got whatever came on the 'instructions' label of the paint.
The painted work looks somewhat like this now:
Note the ruggedness on the inch-square grill, that is from the old sediment and rust that was out of scope of cleaning. So painted over it and seems like it will work.
However, I have also been working on components for the final assembly into the cooler, like filter for the pumps, water supply etc. That I will cover later.
Now as finished paint is curing in the balcony overnight, I will be taking off because I have to be a spectator or probably a player in a cricket match organized by the Company's Cricket club.
So I should be off to the bed now. See you tomorrow with lots of more work. :-)
Good night!
