Before & after… (Genuine ticket holders only please)
Shower before, see full description of its many problems here inc how it was removed without regret…
New shower…
Corner next to shower before – note the (expensive melamine) antique cupboard is butted up to the shower hiding the poo tank pipe & wasting a lot of space…
Same space after, above the free standing cupboard is the missing mirror, delivery “in 2 days” has now turned into “next week sometime” typical…
And there’s more - the painstaking job of boxing in the poo tank pipe was worth the effort…
Countertop surface before…
New countertop surface…
Huge towel rail & tiny radiator before…
Big new radiator that belts out heat…
New floor – didn’t bother with a piccie of the old one…!
Before any changes at all…
Finished result at last…!
What a difference…

We went for a pumpout this morning – this was going to be the potentially flammable one due to the fact that Dave had the sh*ts for 4 days was really ill with gastric flu for 4 days… After careful deliberation we decided that the Hazmat team, the fire engine & a (human) evacuation of the surrounding area wasn’t really necessary anymore for settlement & dispersion reasons. In other words the poo tank has dampened any risk of combustion using it’s (Bio) Magic hence alert level was GREEN… Oh & the bow thruster passed it’s first test in a breezy wind guiding the boat with a precision we’ve never experienced yet…
When we went to Homebase last week (traitors) to get the mirror that we didn’t get, & still haven’t got, we saw some gorgeous bedroom furniture which measured up right. A bit pricey but worth it, so we didn’t order it there & then cos:
- There were no sales assistants to be seen, not good when you’re trying to order something…
- We wanted to double check measurements back at the boat cos with our luck even tho all seemed ok – it couldn’t be…
Imagine our surprise when we got back to the boat & our measurements were just right, in fact even better, we’d been cautious & would end up with more room than we thought. So we went back to Homebase this afternoon (traitors) & ordered it cos we saw an advert on TV last night with 15% extra off sale prices yesterday & today. Too good to be true but worth a go & we saved over 400 quid…! But lets not get too excited, delivery will be between “3 – 7 weeks” (nice & specific) then there’s the question(s) of will we get the right stuff…? And will it all be there…? Or will it arrive bit by bit over 3 – 7 weeks…? Anything is possible…
We can but remain positive (with reservations) of course…
PS: Work starts on the bedroom tomorrow – no rest for the wicked…
