It's hard to believe a week has passed since we last saw the boat, as so much has been done. A coat of grey primer has been applied in readiness for the first coats of paint next week.
The inside has seen real progress, with all the fitted furniture now in place. Just the storage cupboard doors and trim need fitting.
The galley is taking shape with the carcass for the sink/cooker unit built. The gas and water pipes are in, as well as the electrics.
At the moment we are still on course for launching on the 16th, and that means on Monday it'll be a call to the C&RT to get the licence and registration number.
Finally we would like to wish Sue and Guy of Narrowboat Suzie No. 2 good luck with their launch on Thursday. For the last couple of months we have been watching Suzie No. 2 take shape, in fact we have looked forward to our weekly tour of her, as much as seeing Hobbit. Aintree Boats have done an amazing job throughout, especially as she totally bespoke.
Until next week....
Mark & Anne-Marie
