......only on the project, not along the canal.
On Monday afternoon I went along to Screwfix which is only
about a 15minute walk away and collected the bits and pieces I needed.
On Tuesday I began work, I had decided to utilise the void
where the washing machine had come from by making up a drawer unit to fit into
it and re-using the drawers that were formally in the galley, it’s all about
recycling J
This is the void I had to work in.
Having made a skeleton unit and fitted the drawers into it
on soft close runners I then dismantled it all and rebuilt it in-situ as I
could not get it into position as a complete item.
It was then a case of making up a frontage to reduce the
opening to the correct size and fitting that along with a shelf above it,
refitting the skirting board and other cover fillet alongside the basin.
I also formed a small tiled splash-back around the basin.
The end result looks like this.
I don’t like cups and screws particularly but I have used
them rather than pellets so that things are easier to de-mount should the need
arise, very likely on a boat!
I still have to sort out some finishing’s, varnish and cover
fillets on the ceiling but that can wait until I regain my enthusiasm!
The canal has been frozen for the last 3 mornings and I am
not tempted to move on yet, I also have a personal matter to attend to, the
timing of which will affect my plans and as yet is unknown.
So with Waitrose almost alongside my boat and the town
within 2 minutes I am happy to remain for possibly the full 14days if
necessary. I have all I need for now.
