Build day 120

New member of the team - John the carpenter started today ...

 ... on the bedroom/bathroom bulkhead - that’s half of one side in ...

 ... the corridor bulkhead (left) in too and half of the bathroom/lounge ...

 ...the bathroom area

 The bedroom/bathroom bulkhead is complete ...

From inside ...

... the bedroom.

 ... and the bathroom/lounge bulkhead is complete in no time at all!

Looking from the bedroom through the corridor and into the lounge ... only the kitchen bulkhead to do now!

The corridor between the bedroom and lounge ... the area to the right between the two doors will be the utility and will house the washer and freezer together with plenty of storage cupboards and to the left is the bathroom.

Sunday afternoon ...

... at Hanbury Hall

 We spent a lovely couple hours in the grounds just walking; we’ve been stationary amongst ‘humanity’ for 5-months now and we’d forgotten what silence was ... until this afternoon when we were surrounded by it ... it was sooooo nice!

 There were lots of fallen trees both newly cut/fallen and old ones ... I’ll let the pictures tell the story of our afternoon ...

  

Next time I’ll take a look around this early 18th century house

Day 117

The lining-out is nearly finished ...

 ... and the colours are on in the bedroom although the photos don’t really give a true representation of them ...

 ... the under gunwale panels really are not the same colour as the brown paper on the floor!

All the plumbing and central heating pipes and accessories have also been purchased today - time to look at radiators! 

Build days 115 and 116

 Day 115 ...

The water tank has been fitted with the in/out couplings ...

... the hole has been drilled into the ...

... bow thruster compartment for the filler hose.

 George has been busy putting the first coat of colour on the bedroom ceiling and above the gunwale ...

... and the cassette toilet has arrived.

Stuart has been ‘shopping’ for the ‘bits’ for the tank and also brought back the water pump and a shiny horn!

Day 116 - today ...

The water tank is in place ...

... the hoses are fitted ...

... the wiring from the bow thruster is threaded through the front bulkhead  ...

... and there is a shiny stainless steel filler cap on the bow deck.

George has been busy undercoating the kitchen area - all-in-all a good couple of days work
