We’re almost naked… well, that’s to say the interior of the boat is almost naked! We’ve taken down nearly all the walls and are now trying to figure out how to put them back.
Cupboard about to be ‘stripped’
Cupboard gone – designing new ‘bathroom’
We have a few neat ideas that should produce enough space for an island-bed and another full double (with walk-around space on two sides – that’s plenty for guests!).
We will put in another toilet, so the master cabin will have its very own, private, loo. And we’ve even found some wardrobe space and we can leave the main part of the hallway/corridor where it is.
Our ‘cabins’ are gone!
We had great fun when a copper pipe for the central heating split this week. Remember watching those comedy skits on TV, where the comedian is sliding around the floor, trying to hold back the force of water from a broken pipe, and letting go, so a great geyser of water sprays everywhere? We’ve found that those scenes ARE NOT exaggerated. Our central heating system is under pressure, so the water and greasy/oily anti-foul produced a wonderful fountain up the wall, windows, on the ceiling, carpet…. how lovely.
Noel fixed the pipe and then continued demolishing the boat!
All is fixed now – so it’s back to demolishing the walls.
The wheelhouse – once upon a time we could sit here!
The second ‘cabin’!
The construction is magnificent and exhausting – every piece of timber has been held in with excessive nails!
These days are gone – for now!
