This is just a thread about the restoration of the Plympton post, that i have undertaken.
It was a real mess when we first came across it, knee deep in stagnant water and full of huge rocks. There was also signs of fire damage and the hatch was completely f****d.
Since then i have completely re-done the hatch however left the counterweight off for the moment as the hatch doesnt have the adequate locking mechanism to hold it down.
Have drained all of the water with the exception of a couple of cm in the sump, we have also removed most of the debris however a small amount is still left in the toilet. also have re-furbished the toilet and am now working on the door.
This week i will be plastering the cracks in the wall and painting the whole thing as well as removing the rest of the debris.
