This like an old friend just knocked on my door!
Thanks for bump @tommye

Kitchen looks fab, lots of Wifey Anchor points, good call

Boat is fine.... the last 3 miles of the journey took 18 days thanks to the canal freezing then the river Avon flooding, then the canal freezing again. Just a never ending list of maintenance jobs now. The boat is functional but I'm not happy with the quality of the electrical system.

Ive been looking at some Dutch Barge conversions, defo do a thread on your boat mate, would awesome to see! Still at the looking stage but with retirement looming in a few years thought it would be good to perhaps source and then upgrade at my pace rather than retire then buy!

Sounds like that journey was arduous!

@chrismpw has that ikea bag been lined with tinfoil for some nefarious reason?

It'd be boring ... the boat doesn't need much doing to it. I should've fine a thread 7 years before I joined the GOT when I gutted and fitted out a 8m river cruiser to live on, or 2 years before I joined when I gutted and fitted out a 39' iron riveted Dutch barge built in 1904 to live on. Now THAT would've been a thread. 8x4 ply boards being cut on a sloping table saw by the river bank on a windy day, belt sanders driving themselves into the river ....

It's a wonder I still have all 10 fingers.

I was waiting for your microscopic eye ... I even checked the photos before posting

I wear that bag on my head when I look into e-sector obvs.

The images conjured are sublime.

Well being as it's been at that stage for 3 months where its persistently 99.5% finished here are some pics of it very nearly complete but not kept tidy by the missus.View attachment 209422

Lovely that. Quality.
Your hard work was well worth it. Well done mate.
Proud of you

More ceiling hooks than @john jako's shed

They`re for hanging his missus from when he finally cracks.

 

[COYBL25]

It's chaos in there. The missus insisted on a fancy one with two doors and a light you have to WAIT to come on as if it's some kind of ceremony. I hate it and I never know which door to open, so just fling things in and out with my eyes shut.

Have you thought about a pair of sunglasses, you could hang them from one of the ceiling hooks, so you`d never lose them ?

Is that all new?

 

[RAFUH]

Are there 'before' pictures in here somewhere?

Everything painted blue was bought in, fitted and painted. Everything wood coloured was made from scratch by me.

Don't think so ... but since the two rooms were previously a lounge and ... well er .. another lounge, separated by a wall there's no real point. Put it this way - they weren't kitchens.
