Once again it has been a while since updating this blog, I just don’t know where the time goes.

Well Things are beginning to take shape, slowly admittedly but with family commitments and one thing and another time just seems to disappear. Paul has been visiting wood suppliers to source the panels and tongue and groove (which we are having milled as we have decided on a different profile than the normal one). After much thought we have settled on European oak and the panels have now arrived. Not the easiest thing to manoeuvre onto the boat, and as Paul found out turning them around meant taking them off the boat. Paul is getter fitter and thinner by the day. The tongue and groove is coming in about 10 days and the plumbing stuff this week. Paul has now decided that he is going to make the kitchen cupboards rather than buy them so that’s another job to put on the list.

In his spare time, Ha Ha, (I only see him at dinner time) he is updating the CAD drawings with the plumbing and electrical layouts as well as the interior. Mind you on returning home last Friday from a hard day at work, I noticed that the boat lights were on so I wandered out to find Paul in the boat on a garden lounger (with the lounger cushion) having a nap, it’s a hard life isn’t it.

We now have most of the major equipment for the boat (the house is getting full), the next thing to look at is the lights and from what I have seen this is a minefield. Hopefully my next update will be full of news concerning the fit out, that is providing the lounger is removed.
