Station Maintenance

This is the third '10 year service' I have carried out on this screen, and it was second hand when I got it. The woodwork is completely sound but I had to replace the roof and make a new stand this time. A quick steam clean, light sandblast, primer and several top coats. Relocated on a new base so hopefully good for another 10 years.
I would've liked it to be further from the hedge, but it's at the limit for cables at 60 metres, also could get damaged by tractors! Internals are 'Instromet' wet & dry, a 'Zeal' calibrated thermometer, and a cheap LCD max/min which is surprisingly accurate.
