so far in total, minus labour, they have cost 70 quid, for fixings and Danish oil, even the sink was free!!!!!!

Over Christmas at work, we had a cold water main burst due to the cold weather. Now that is another story but the short version is, is that we had to have one of our Front of House function rooms refurbished including the floor. Now, me being me, and always haveing an eye out for things, i saw an oppurtunity, and managed to get about 60 square metres of water damaged floor. Some of this will hopefully go down as the floor in Judith Ann, but the rest i planed back, and built a couple of Galley units. Being a wooden hull they are built as free standing....just in case, and will be bolted in rather than permanently fixed. They have taken about 2 months to do, in amongst work, and baby, but are finally ready for a nice coat of Danish Oil, and installing!!!

Not sure about liveboard but being local, fenny station is one stop from bletchley, or a 15 min walk, red lion pub at fenny lock is good as is bull and butcher on the high St. The high street has everything you need, there Is a Tesco, b and q, wicks, and the like all within a ten min walk and MK centre is about 5 min car journey away.

Aah 20c40, got to love it, pretty much the whole of the backstage at MK Theatre is painted that, in Matt, silk or eggshell. We source from Dulux centre and I think they can do it in all paints. Roll on summer and the 50 odd doors and hundreds of square metres of Walls with a handful of trusty technicians and a bucket load of the stuff!
If your in the MK area Dulux is just off Fenny Stratford high street on Denmark Street just past Pollards the tool shop

Can you not cut through her and count the rings??

My dads just refurbished one, apparently it now works as new, not sure if it was the same fault though. Certainly do-able and cheaper than new!

On Judith Ann we are in the process of fitting out, so have factored a drawer into a unit for waste. And, of course, the stove will eat a fair amount! We're quite restricted for space, being only 5' 6" ish between lining planks, so every possible space is being used to maximise potential, and being environmentally conscious the units are being built out of reclaimed water damaged flooring, coming up a treat. Hopefully photos will follow!
Regards from sunny south west France!

At least the continuity was better this week as they started from and hit the south end of harecastle, turn into the Maccy - hitting the bank when most first timers manage here. Then they were up at Bollington doing the paint bit.
Not sure about that, I'm sure it was this week which said they were on the macc, then there was a shot of Aston lock on the lower T&M, which is wide!
My two penneth is that taken on face value it is harmless entertainment, it is wrong to laugh at hitting other peoples' boats, or bridges and tunnels, but without actually being there we are reliant on forming an opinion based on editing, done in such a way to create entertainment. I will happily be corrected if I am wrong, I have missed an episode or two!!!

New game: Drink-a-long-a boat that guy built, everytime someone says chief, take a drink of your favourite tipple!

Another one for your list, Graham.....
Missing Boat - Small Woolwich - "Meteor"
The story here seems to be that in this case the "thieves" were actually receivers who had had the boat seized, (unless there is any other explanation in there I have missed!)
EDIT:
Looks like Meteor survived the experience......
As I have said repeatedly, not all "missing" and "stolen" boats are necessarily quite what they first appear to be!
As I remember, Meteor was found behind a barn, just outside Hopwas, and the only way to get it there was crane it over, well out of the way. Her name had been painted over with emulsion, i don't think the receivers took it, i think it was hidden from them.

Hi Mike,
There is a thread called braunston tunnel tugs in history and heritage which talks about this tug and its sisters. they were designed to be turned around in Braunston tunnel when it was being repaired!

So the auction has just finished with a late winning bid of £9500, reserve met, a nice little project for someone, at a reasonable price!

Oh and ten grand?!

'Bath' has been too. I've seen photos of her stem post touching the gauge house. Little Woolwich butty 'Crater' (as hotel boat Taurus) is a regular visitor, but its passage of Hurleston Lock is not without issue. 'Meteor' was not so lucky and caused major problems when it hung in the lock.
It wasn't too bad, I was inside her at the time, luckily she still had chains so we could pull her sides in, didn't get through though!

Ok you got me!!!!

Apparently Taramasalata is the only word in the English language that every other letter is A!

You could say that but it is however a nice bow (shape)!!! I'd lose the cabin straight away and probably deconvert her back to being a butty. I know that she has been like that for longer but I like the idea of a Nursers butty, and she'd tow beautifully!!!
-
think it must have been relisted:
Guess they're running two adverts, could be confusing!!!!

Perusing the duck, I see the price has dropped to 20 grand, so it's heading the right way! Give it 12 months I might be able to afford her!!!!
-
are you sure? i think it would look nice with Chertsey!!!!!

She's Back!!!!
Again, a nice little project for someone, but alas, no time in my life at the moment!

Evening all,
if anyone is around the Giffard Park area in Milton Keynes, the police have closed the towpath, red route on the offside, and i can only assume navigation aswell between the Giffard Park pub, and the next bridge southbound.
I hope not, but wonder if it is related to this:
Guess we'll find out in a few days.
