The building begins...

Today's visit showed us the final stripping out - the bulkhead between the galley and the lounge cut down to give a view through nearly the whole boat from the stern. And the building begins! The new oak floor was being laid as we watched. We measured up for extra cupboards, measured the inside of the cooker (!) to see what other cookware we had to shed and we measured the new office space. Over a cup of coffee in Kizzie's Elizabeth drew out the new office storage, while Pete tried not to glaze over. From there, after one final lot of measuring, we went to Howden's for new oak doors for all the port side cupbaords. Thank you, Taylor's Services, for being the traders to allow us to buy from Howdens!
