Stoppages, dogs and rust.

Well, It's been a busy few days, I've been cutting holes in my floor and finding lots of rust!

Not ideal, but rust generally looks worse than it is, this is because the steel 'grows' to about 10 times it's original size when oxidised, basically a 3mm thick bit of rust only means you have lost 0.3mm of the thickness.

Well thats enough of the rust, on to the stoppages.

When we arrived at Ware lock, the Environment Agency were there in full force, divers and all.

There were some issues reported with the lock and they were doing an inspection.

It turned out to be a bit of debris stopping the lock gates closing, or something like that, but here's some pics.

Now on to dogs..., I'm dogsitting for my friend (Ken) and his scruffy little pooch is a bit of a character!
