Is it past your bedtime? Getting a bit grumpy... I am having the engineer to advise me on electrics, water and general know how as the boat stands as it is. My knowledge is very basic on narrowboat and I am simply needing to understand more. I know how it will look inside that's the easy part. No the carriage doesn't have seats. It will have vintage and antique furniture and fittings.

Thanks for the encouraging words. And the portakabin reference is funny.

Some encouraging words and a few that have made me really laugh. Some very witty folks about. I agree it's not for everyone but I wouldn't expect it to be. We have a train carriage we are converting into accommodation. It's looking rather beautiful. I will dig a trench and put a gravel base down for some drainage. It will need to be wedged in. Still working on that. I have it wedged with wood and tires at the minute. Today, I have arranged for a waterways engineer (think that's his title?) to come over and give me some advice. Yes it will cost for his time but at least I will know what needs to be done next and what can be achieved. Wow! The boat at the school is great. Love it!

Hi. I'm not really where to look for advice but hoping someone can help me. I currently have a 27ft Springer ( I believe) that I want to site on land and use as a Glamping accommodation. Is there someone near that could advise/help on conversion? Really lost on the technical side. I love this boat and would really like to see her in use. I'm in Ashbourne, Derbyshire if anyone fancies it?
