...add it to the bill!..


Well aint that real pretty n'all? Shame its one of our bedroom windows that just went pop. I for one put it down to the dear old boat just letting us know she's a bit miffed at all the upheaval.

oh the decadence.


Our new bath. I am so excited about this bath I can hardly contain the glee!
Its got no taps yet though. Might need some of those.....

Cheers Pa!


Delivery of our main wedding present!
One large steel water tank..provded by Dad and Penny. Excellent. Now we can wash more often!
This will sit in the bow locker in the front of the boat and fill our beautiful new roll top bath...its going to be AMAZING!

What lies beneath....


Blimey! That used to be our bedroom... and and at the far end is the engine room.The stinky and creaky old floor has gone, ready for the new wooden one to go down...quite a depressing sight really - the poor old boat stripped to her undercrackers.

Finally...


And here's one we made earlier! Just have a look at that.

Now that's what i call a project. Every last wall, or if you want to be technical, bulkhead has been taken down, lights gone, bathroom gone along with most of our wordly possesions. Well there's no going back, or should that be up, along, no down a bit, just to the right now!

Now you see it, now you dont...


Remember that bedroom? Well now it's long gone, reduced to not much more than kindling. The only problem now being what to do with the dear old water tank (probably would of been a good idea to empty it, prior to taking the plumbing out)!

More skilled demolition work! Now those of you who, as of yet have not had the privilage of staying aboard will not have had the pleasure of using the boats shower, come to think of it, no one's had any pleasure using the shower. Perhaps the best thing to equate it to would be having a shower in a coffin. Nice. It had to go.
It put up a valiant effort but eventually we got the better of it and we even managed to get a whole English pound for the shower tray (Ebay is a wonderous thing)!
