The
start of the kitchen being fitted out.
Conventional kitchen units are used, but the "backs" being
modified to fit against the side of a narrowboat.
|
 |
| The
first set of units "in", but not yet fixed, looking from
the front of the boat. |
 |
Looking
from the back of the boat.
The space still unoccupied will be for the saloon. |
 |
Lots
of important wires and pipes to be fixed to something that is going
to be here.
I lack the knowledge to tell you what they will be at the moment,
but it will all become clear shortly. |

The
positioning and fitting of the toilet holding tank, looking to the
rear of the boat. |
 |
The
positioning and fitting of the toilet holding tank, looking to the
front of the boat, i.e. it is on the left hand side of the boat. |
 |
The
positioning and fitting of the toilet holding tank, the part
actually in the toilet, where there will also be a wash hand basin,
radiator and vanity fittings. |
 |
This
will begin to show you how difficult it is to obtain
"complete" pictures in such confined spaces.
The enclosed space to the left that has been basically formed at
this time, will be the toilet and wash hand basin compartment.
Ignore the "white" colour, the flash has taken all the
colour out of the pale green facing of the adjoining compartment
that will be the separate shower. |

of the shower tray with the packing removed.
Please note
nothing is totally fixed at this stage as minor movements of bulkheads,
as little as a few millimetres are often needed to to accommodate
fixtures, e.g. a shower tray.
Often supplied fittings are not exactly the dimensions described in
the leaflets. |
To
the side and below are pictures of extra bulkheads being constructed
within the boat to create places for the various fittings, control
panels, the central heating boiler, and of course much needed
storage space for clothing.
Storage compartments being constructed at the rear of the boat on
the left hand side of the boat.
(Remember all positions are stated as if viewed from the rear of the
boat, looking to the front.) |
 |
| Storage
area to the rear of the boat on the right, as well as storage space
a control panel will be placed here. |
 |

adjacent image shows the toilet and wash hand basin compartment. |
