Well I think progress is coming along nicely although Paul feels that it should be further along. The problem (some might say) is that Paul is a bit of a perfectionist so everything takes 3 times longer for him than it would if someone else was doing it. Personally I don’t see that this is a problem because everything he does is always well thought out and looks great.

The ceiling is in place and has now been varnished and the lights have been fitted. All the side panels and the tongue and groove is also now in place along with the window liners. The central heating system and the radiators are in position; the plumbing and gas pipes are all in place (you have to bear in mind that my interpretation of all done is different to Pauls), final fix will come later. Paul has done lots of other things on the boat as well, I really would not know where to start, on the basis I don't really understand all the technical stuff, all I know is that everytime I go on it something has changed.

The kitchen bulkhead is now in position; luckily Paul had put the cooker on the boat prior to this, as it would have been a problem getting it through the gap. He is now re-designing the layout of the kitchen in anticipation of making all the cupboards from scratch.

Tomorrow we are going hunting for bathroom tiles, although Paul might need them for 2-3 weeks we have a wedding next weekend and then I am off on holiday for a week, Paul is looking forward to the peace and quite.

We went to the Beaulieu Boat Jumble and had a really nice day wandering around, Paul got quite a few bits and pieces, along with a kitchen sink and trolley. We camped at Crick and had a great time, for any of you that were there you will know that the weather was fine on Saturday but deteriorated for the Sunday with closure on the Monday.
