18 January 2009

It's been a long weekend, starting on Friday with an anticipated high.

The Davey HotPot stove I ordered from Marine Store arrived and Friday was taken off work to plonk it in. Things didn't quite go to plan as I couldn't find anywhere that sold pipe with an internal diameter of 2.5in. Avery Knight in Bath, usually very good didn't have anything either. Never mind though. Off to the boat to make a plinth, no point sitting the stove on the floor and wasting space above.

The stove on it's plinth. The bottom of the stove has been tapped to accept 4 x M10 bolts as per the instructions. Lemonade is the beverage of the day.

An 18mm ply backing is screwed on and cement board cut, ready to be fixed on.
The space below will eventually be a massive draw to hold stuff to burn.

Saturday was a woodwork day, I cut the bathroom side bulkhead sheets to shape and also a couple of the front wall lining pieces.

No bulkheads, just two innocent sheets of ply.

Tada! We have rooms!

Fuzzy, but you can see the piece to the right of the window is in place (out of shot the left is done too).


Sunday has been plumbing and sinking.

Pipes exit from behind where the sink will be. Two for the sink, two for the shower/WC and the bottom is the feed from the tank.

The bathroom sink is in place, this really makes things feel as if they're moving along.

Pipes exit underneath the sink. The only problem with these is that the poly pipe is stuck in it's curly spiral shape and won't straighten out, they keep popping out of their clips, I'll have to get some pipe clips with retaining straps.
