Again I'm suffering from laptop freezing. Three times I wrote this over the last week, only to suffer the cruelest of practical jokes from my friend the laptop.
On each occasion I'd posted two pictures and typed at least 300 words when it happened. Sad pity is it is all lost as I have to switch off and re-boot losing everything. So I'm typing this in three sections and posting as I go.
Bloody typical though, the last three posts/attempts were witty and interesting. Now I'm tired and its late and feeling melancholy.
But.............I have a glass of wine ( a big bottle even) so here goes.
The sill's are completely removed...........Hurrah.
Lots of rusty stuff has been painted with Hammerite rust killer.
The front footwell is all welded up.
The " trumpet" is repaired . No please don't laugh. That is its correct name.
The new sill's have been painted in anticipation.
Smelly red oxide paint has been sprayed everywhere I could think of before the aerosol ran out.
........................Oh I almost forgot. I repaired the gaping hole in the side footwell. Just to prove it here's the before and after pics. Look closely you can even see the welding too.

Sorry....lost photo in a fit of spellchecking & tidying up!
Grrrr (counts to ten slowly)...............that's the EIGHTH time I've lost a post
And now some other news from the world of Fufferfour
The bathroom is finally finished. And very nice it looks too !
I spent all day Saturday pasting and hanging wallpaper, fitting carpet trim, Laying vinyl in cubbyhole, tidying up and putting thing away, refitting all fittings taken down to wallpaper ( including Medicine cabinet & contents ) and washing the venetian blind blinds. By the way our medicine cabinet is fully equipped for a thermo nuclear war thanks to the ever loving wife.
Lost an arm sir ? No problem. Paul...pass me the thermal lance
