BATHROOM VIRTUALLY COMPLETE

Well hasn't he done well. Can't believe Tim has managed to put my design together so well, he has never built cupboards before and he has done a tremendous job.
The rest of the boat is like a tip so I can take sanctuary here .
We are slowly getting our money back so that's good, slow and steady is how the fit out is going but if it all goes as well as the bathroom I will be beyond happy. Thank you my darling and sorry for being a pain......

Feeling more positive

hi all, I do apologise for not replying or keeping you up to date, we are gladly receiving weekly payments of £200. Up to now we have had £1000 and are counting ourselves very lucky indeed.

We have installed a shower cubicle, flooring, wash basin and cupboard in the bathroom and are very happy with the results, pics to follow. A couple of more bathroom units to build the were onto our bedroom.

Having the shower has been amazing and I want everyone to appreciate the luxury.

Thanks for reading.

P.S. Our friend passed away too so that was another knock, Colin her husband returned to the boat a week after the funeral and is struggling to get on with life, god love him x

Hard to keep on track

I realise there will be lots of people all over the world wondering what is happening. By now we should be showing off our new boat and its wonderful interior but due to the slimy person who spent our last pennies on horses were having to take it day by day, week by week. It's been hard to think about writing anything and as such I apologise.
We're on the verge of a shower, yay.

Also , yesterday we went to our good friend, Dot's, funeral. That was such a shock. Just can't believe it. She was having the time of her life and within 3 months, gone. Such a big loss in our lives.

Hopefully my next entry will be more positive, take care all x x

Money gone! And now in dry dock

Wow it's been a terrible stressful time, after 2 months of waiting for our boat to be finished off inside, not by the boat builder I may add, we have discovered that the person doing it hasn't actually spent our money on materials but instead has squandered it away.
After lies upon lies, some of which only the lowest of people would use, we caught him red handed and due to us trying to get our large amount of money back I can't go into more detail but the man was totally unscrupulous .

Moving on, we're now in wigan and in the dry dock where we have been spoilt with 6 men from the builders doing a great job for us.

Just can't wait to move on now, we have been in limbo but now we can start to get things sorted..

Bikes......In pain

Just to say that we went for our first bike ride before with the girls running beside. It was fun but my wrist, elbow and knee didn't enjoy it.
First stop, the bike shop for a sit up and beg bike please.....

MILLIE, LOOKING CUTE...AWWWWW



Water under the floor!

Well yesterday Tim decided to check all the water pipes before they became buried under the oak flooring. All the pipes will be below flooring level and not boxed in around the edge. All the pipes and their connections were sound but underneath the floor was wet! See the pictures......

As he had been working around the edge we lifted a middle section this morning to check that and although there was wet there too, it wasn't as bad.

Now what were wondering is wether having no floor down has let the warmth from the fire under there and that in turn has created condensation on the ribs which is running down onto the floor.
But why more around the edge than the middle. Our own thoughts on that are that there are more gaps between wood around the adhesive for access.

Anyway, we have informed the builder and he is coming to check.

On a different subject, were bored, bored of hanging around for jobs and work to be done. We feel the winter is going to be here before we know it and we won't have done anything.....just wish things would start coming together now....
