sorry its been a while. here is my logburner we completed today. kitchen in roughly apart from maybe moving the island to the other side better walk way then. and worktops...

Time to buy a toilet :)...

Thanks. Not too sure got it on ebay. Only thing is the hieght it's fine for me but not for taller people so I'm going to sink it into the cieling and silly me put the extractor right behind it so I'll have to move it out of shower area.

Just been doing our bathroom slowly. Whale gulper pump made the vanity unit up. Next is waney edge oak top towel rail shower screen and some kind of timber cladding on window wall and a door then onto next project....

Haha nice comment. She's been painting I've been wiring up spotlights... next to run pipe work and cables under gunnels for kitchen ect... need to think about hot water and I'm open to suggestions. We will have a webasto and rads running down one side of boat...

All side now done. Priming the ceiling. Me with a grim on my face happy to see the end of the plying.

Little bit more today. Takes ages as every panel needs scribing into the cieling ect. This wall has a nice curve in it that you can't really see in the picture. We strung a line to keep it straight...

Thanks it will be slanted. That was just one profile and set up another slanted one but no picture of it looks much better. It will also house pipework and socket cables.

Had the week off work this week. Plying the boat out now...

I was looking on eBay at widebeam and found one with a wheelhouse I much like pics attached of what I I'd like to do...

Skylight in. Wpb down in the bedroom for the chipboard haters . Just need to shoot a few more battens in the hallway and the floors done...

I does have a sort of bilge I have a hole through the concrete so I can see the hull. When I get there is will have it accessible. At 80 a sheet of marine grade that's 1000 just for the subfloor I do have a budget to stick to. this is what I have used and others but thanks for your input.

we have to be optimistic that we don't have any leaks and I have took relevant precautions to prevent this. Plus most we have a brand new Liverpool boat next to us with it. So what would you suggest be used?

Yes it is moisture board.

Because of the way this boat has been made there is no bilge or low points It has a flat bottom and under the concrete there are steel angle crossmembers every say 350mm so a bilge would seem pointless. I have rips of around 300mm on the sides which haven't been glued and can easily come up for inspection. On top of the batten we have rubber strips for accoustic purposes which also acts as a dpm.

Boat is back in the water now had a few leaks on the bottom weld of the plating which have now hopefully been sorted. We have broken out some high areas of concrete and screened it flat. Now we are insulating with 25mm celotex and using 18mm tongue and groove chipboard for the subfloor. with pu glue on the battens and and tongues to eliminate sqweeks.. Subfloor...

Next big project is building the wheel house any ideas welcome but I do have a rough idea. Insulating tomorrow with plans for next week taking up the subfloor insulating and boarding.

Quick update on progress been really busy. With regards to the pits on port side we got it plated with was recommended by the surveyor in a year or two. We've black and blacked the boat with 10 new anodes fitted. I have cut out an opening for a skylight under the kitchen and built and upstand just need to get a triple glazed unit. We opened up the hallway by adding another window and changed the single glazed lurveor vented window. We also painted the super structure firstly in an Matt dove grey then changed it to gloss. And painted the cill twice with a rubber paint as it's a prone area to leak. Boats dropping off the slip way tomorrow

All four top corners of bulkheads welded. Finished framing around front of boat and finished some siliconing out side...
