Back cabin upholstery

The upholstery supplied by JandH trimmings at Ashwood Basin has been delivered.     Bed in down postion:   Looking forward:   Some ballast will be installed in future under back cabin floor but there will still be some storage space left This area, being cool, is a good place to keep beer and fresh food so the opportunity was taken to add a coat of paint so it will be easy to clean.

Bedroom

Looking from the bedroom forward: The door at the bottom left allows access to the rear of the toilet for cassette removal.       Cupboards over the bed.

Shoe rack / storage space under bed

It's a shame to waste any storage opportunity on a boat. Below the bed at the fore end of the calorifier a couple of cubic feet of dead space existed. This is accessible from the wardrobe so a shoe storage rack was built here. The photos show the rack viewed from above, during fitting, and from the wardrobe.

Back cabin range flue

The flue for the back cabin range has been installed in accordance with the latest stove installation rules. This means that rather than carry the load of the flue on the range smoke box it is "hung" from the roof collar. To account for thermal movement a 3mm gap to the smoke box is created at the bottom. the top and bottom of theflue are then sealed with high temp flexible sealant.

My diabetes is now 'reversed' (maybe)

This is really for diabetics, or people that know someone who is. Please do not hijack it and start talking diets in general, thank you.   Please bear in mind, when reading this, that I am not a medical person. If you want to follow the same diet that I have followed, then you must research it and make up your own mind. If you decide to try it out, you are on your own and I am in no way liable for illness or problems that you may encounter.I cannot recommend it in any way, rather, I will rec

No boat to visit today - so what else to do but a walk down the canal?

Snow still on the ground, cold breeze, blue sky - time to take a walk down the canal. My friend Suz came with me and we started at Roydon, where I had previously walked to. Planned to finish my walk of the Stort today and we both agreed on aiming for Broxbourne, down the Lea. Found a boat in a lock, doing what I had done last week when I moved Charm with the help fo 3 friends from the marine in the ice to be blacked up at Kecksie's farm. It was both fun and completely scary as I was doing all th

So far so good..?

Well, I have had a run-in with Roydon railway bridge in high water - learnt to make sure I hear exactly what others are saying to me in passing or make sure I get every word said to any of my companions on a trip. Now have a shorter Chimney and learnt to briefly use an angle grinder. Have become a frequent visitor to my engine bay where it is old and solid enought for me to actually sit on and line the compartments there to stop rusting when I finally get my stern gland fixed as it just sucks t

Work on the brother's chalet...

Boat work has stopped for a while and been replaced with chalet work. My brother's chalet roof has always been a bit leaky and the pitch is rather low (flat in places!). Made a new roof frame with an increased pitch and fitted tile effect steel sheeting. We also moved the stove so the flue exits out the front wall rather than through the new roof. This means we don't have to worry about how to stop the flue leaking and the stove now sits opposite the settee, which is better.

Plumbing under the bed.

The calorifier is sited under the bed. The pipework under here looks quite "busy" but it is all reasonably accessible and logical.   Of interest in this photo are:   - Valves either side of the Bolin C/H circulation pump to isolate it. Therefore the system does not need draining down should the pump need to come out. I also envisage, when the calorifier is hot, and C/H boiler not in use, using one of these valves to avoid natural convection occuring which would effectively use the boiler

Toilet connected to plumbing and wired in.

The water supply pipe to the Dometic cassette toilet was fitted with an extra, small 1/4 turn shut off valve and the toilet fitted and connected to the water and 12V power suply.   The toilet has an electric valve (12V)to control the flush water (similar to a washing machine). I included the manual shut off valve to give a convenient means of isolating the toilet if the electric valve should ever give trouble. In theory if that valve fails open, the entire (120 gallon) domestic water tank cou

Shelves fitted under the washbasin

Shelves have been made and fitted under the washbasin. To protect the pipes against impact by items put there and stop small objects dropping down the gaps a small upstand has been added in the corners. Of course it made wiggling the shelves into place very tricky.   Now the doors can go on.

Bathroom washbasin plumbed in.

The washbasin which has been sitting in position for a few weeks has now been plumbed in.   As described earlier Hep20 push fit piping has been widely used, usually without problem but here a weep occurred on the cold feed, on the T coupling leading to the short section of pipe, before it rises up in the corner. After replacement of the short pipe section and T coupling it still leaked. I then replaced the short pipe with a piece of copper pipe which successfully cured the leak. This can be

Bathroom tiling completed.

The bathroom tilting has now been completed. This includes the grouting and silicone sealing around the edges.   Since the photo above was taken the shower head has been mounted on the wall and coupled up - although it has subsequently been removed to keep it out of the way.

Newcastle diabetic diet..starting week 4

Christmas...was a nightmare. The thought..of what I could have been eating....and instead..I had the 3 meal shakes...and a plate of cauliflower with home made tomato sauce !!. Also...the reviews of success or failure of the diet are mixed..and when you get that hungry you start to see the failures as bigger than the success. My own feeling..is that people aren't following it totally as per the original..? There is a lot of adaptation...where they are using supermarket and Slimfast shakes...tha
