firstboat

Below is a chart from my hull survey. In this scenario I want to imagine things are as bad as they can possibly be. The boat is in mooring and does not leave the marina. Water is present between the over plating and the original hull, The mooring electricity is badly wired and electricity is leaking in to the canal. The weather has been terrible, it is Winter and the river continues to freeze and thaw The boat next to me is used a lot and every time they moor up they crash in to my boat. How long can my boat last???

Does anybody know how I can modify my existing home blinds to fit flush to the surface on a narrowboat? Thanks

Ive been down there today and laid the existing floor planks horizontally across the two structural metal bars, that should give me an extra 2 feet width in exchange for losing 3 or four inches head height, i thinks its a good trade off. ...I won't be posting any completed pics because its going to be a bit of an amateur job tbh.

Perhaps the most daunting part of my recent project purchase is that it has no floor and it is V-Bottom! I mean i have a couple of planks down and when i walk on them my head is 1cm from the ceiling but this is low to the bilge. If i were to lay the floor flat I would loose half a foot! looking at the original springer layout it looks like they build cupboards in to the side beyond this low path. Does anybody out there know how I would go about this? I have two structural metal beams running lengthways through the boat. The previous owner just left them on show but i would like a better finish than that. Any help is greatly appreciated.
