<br />
This week we've been laying the floor (a dedicated post will follow when it's complete), while today we have employed the help Colin aka the project manager and Terry the engineer. Their main task was to improve the engine bay doors. In their original form they consisted of two thick steel plates, that did the job but were hard to lift and were not lockable. We wanted a more elegant way to accessing the engine room.<br />
<br />
The solution was to hinge them on removable pins that are retained by 'R' clips. The pins then slot into sockets that are welded into the deck's drain channels. Gas struts were mounted, which takes the weight out of lifting the lids and hold them in the upright position. Secondly, they installed a flush fitting lock, which we purchased from <a href="http://timage.eu/site/" target="_blank">Timage</a>, a company that makes parts for high end yachts. We do not intend to keep this locked when the vessel is carrying passengers as this would be unsafe should the engine room ever need to be accessed in an emergency, however I like the idea of having the ability to lock it when we are away for any extended period of time.
As a finsihing touch, the fellas have added a 'finger pull' handle, welded into the lid.<br />

Another key bit of progress is the steel shelves we had welded in. These will house the 75l calorifier (hot water tank), Hurricane heater (diesel fired boiler) and the battery banks. The inlet/port welded into the diesel tank will provide the route for the boiler's fuel return feed.<br />

With all the exposed metal caused by welding there's a fair bit of priming and painting to do to tidy things up. On the plus side the welder was quite impressed with our Jotun paint job, as it didn't come off easily.Mohsenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05415632106891370749noreply@blogger.com0Sawbridgeworth CM21 9BZ, UK51.8233211 0.1535266999999294151.8184141 0.1434416999999294 51.828228100000004 0.16361169999992942tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-899766102722554721.post-82959581432285386772017-04-06T15:00:00.000+01:002017-05-08T23:05:28.213+01:00InsulateBoaty's floor will be made up of reclaimed floorboards and while these will be clamped together as tightly possible leaving minimal gaps we are still aware that cool air can travel up from the bliges into the cabin. So the solution is a layer of thermal insoluation boards. Cut to size and suspended between the floorboards and the ballast.

To access the bilges floorboards can be removed to reveal 20mm thermal insulation board. The thermal insulation board is cut and joined by foil insulation tape, which can be removed to allow the boards to be lifted the bilges to be accessed. The boards are cut down the centerline of the boat and 60cm either side of the center line.

We have decided to employ the expertise of a Marine surveyor. On his first visit to the boat he informed us of the essential requirements in order to meet the RCD (Recreational Craft Directive) and offered lots of advice on our build. Anyone embarking on a self build projet should get RCD compliance, although not everyone does. We believe employing an expert will prove to be invaluable in the long run.Mohsenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05415632106891370749noreply@blogger.com0Sawbridgeworth CM21 9BZ, UK51.8233211 0.1535266999999294151.8184141 0.1434416999999294 51.828228100000004 0.16361169999992942tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-899766102722554721.post-79618807521936180462017-03-09T10:00:00.000+00:002017-05-08T22:18:44.179+01:00It's Not UnusualAfter doing much research into heating, electrics and other aspects of our build we came across a fellow blogger called Tom, who has written extensively about his own build and beyond.<br />
<br />
His blog can be found here <a href="http://www.narrowboat-waiouru.co.uk/" target="_blank">www.narrowboat-waiouru.co.uk</a><br />
<br />
Tom and his wife Jan have a beautiful and exceptionally well designed boat. You can see the passion and attention to detail that they have put into their boat and it she repaid them handsomely. As non-natives they have explored England via the waterways and now could be qualified to write the Britishness exams if they should wish.<br /><br />With their adventure coming to an end we wish them all the best in their next adventure.<br />

Our first steps towards fitting out.
We've managed to get hold of some reclaimed floorboards, which we will sand, recondition and stain. We have enough for the kitchen and lounge but not for the master bedroom. So we will have to either find a similar batch or look at other options.<br />
<br />
Long term family friend Rob, who owns <a href="http://www.castleantiquesandpine.com/" target="_blank">Castle Antiques</a> in Bedford, gave us a great deal on these boards and they were very kindly delivered by our new friend Peter who generously passed on his floorboard laying expertise whilst helping to unload the boards.<br />

We also found a crane driver (seen in orange) who did not think the lift was possible.<br />
<br />
<br />
So we had our boat loaded onto a truck, complete with driver. We had our pitch complete with fresh timber sleepers. Now all we had to do was convince the crane driver not to go home and leave us in a world of shit. The acting site foreman, Andy (seen in blue), insisted that the lift was possible having done this several times previous with his preferred crane driver, who was unavailable due to ill health.<br />
<br />
The point of disagreement surrounded the cranes maximum distance on a pivot from the truck to the sleepers. The driver finally and begrudgingly agreed to set up to lift, measure out and prove Andy wrong. He huffed and puffed and paced out the distances before accepting that it might just work. So we went ahead.<br />
<br />
Many thanks to Andy, without him, we would have been helpless.<br />

The boat, formerly known as 'Boaty', would now pass from the experiened and wise hands of <a href="http://www.xrandd.co.uk/" target="_blank">XR&D</a> to a pair of charlatans masquerading as boat builders.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.walker-tuxford.co.uk/" target="_blank">Walker Cranes</a> provided the initial lift, out of <a href="http://www.xrandd.co.uk/" target="_blank">XR&D</a><b> </b>HQ in Nottinghamshire. A 100 tonne crane lifted the boat onto a low loader, which would be driven down to the A1 / A14 / M11 to Sawbridgeworth.<br />

<b>We would like to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you to <a href="http://www.xrandd.co.uk/" target="_blank">XR&D</a>, particularly but not exclusively, Garry, Lee and Abdul. We are so happy we chose to go with them. The process was relatively stress free and quite often enjoyable. They made every effort to accommodate our 'on-the-fly' approach to design and guided our aesthetic ideas without compromising functional considerations. We found them to be reliable, trustworthy, personable, professional and talented. Hope to see you guys again soon, perhaps for a jaunt down the canal...</b><br />

The pictures show the control panel for the BETA Engine, the internal battening and foam insulation. We also decided to insulate our water tank, which should minimise the condensation that usually drips down the side of these stainless steel tanks.<br />
<br />
The foam insulation is sprayed in, at a minimum coverage of 25mm in thickness, which is a fairly modern technique for boats and will help to retain the heat.<br />

XR&D graciously let us use their hanger for the weekend, though our target was to get it done in a day. We set up camp on Friday evening in Travel lodge Retford, after making the long drive up North.<br />
With Adam as lead painter in tow, we arrived at XR&D base on Saturday morning at around 8.30am.
<br />
The first stage was prep, which involved lots of sweeping and then using tack rags to get the surface clean. Then taping from the end of the blacking, we would paint everything above the gunwale. Then we painted: the idea is to keep the wet edge moving, only letting areas dry as you finish them, but this gets complicated by the fact that you don't want to over roller any particular area and ruin the finish. Then add in the fact that you have to walk across much of the area you want to paint, it becomes a harder tasks than it looks.<br />
We had to work out a methodical to route to take when painting, with surprisingly minimal arguing we found a rhythem and worked our way through the boat.

Our engine has been placed in it's final resting place, along with the ballast. Finally, our windows have arrived and can be seen through the bubble wrap. They're weighty units both in mass and price, double glazed with thermal break. 'Top Banana', as my neighbour used to say.

We were quite late but managed to cover a few major details before we left. In the pictures you can see the sliding stern door hatch, the bow doors and window apertures, the dog box, pole & plank holder and the holes for the mushroom vents.

We've ordered it with a 'hospital silencer', which is supposed to muffle the noise of the engine and simultaneously make us less of a nuisance on the waterways.

In other news we had our first proper wander inside the new vessel, hopping across the bearers and imaging how it might look fully fitted out into a liveaboard boat. In the pictures below you'll notice the 4 bollards, 2 at stern and 2 at bow. I'm relaibly informed these are called Samson posts and are anchors to tie the boat off when mooring. Also pictured is:<br />
<ul>
<li>Our 200 gallon stainless steel water tank, which will be insulated with foam and placed under the fore deck.</li>
<li>The stern deck railings, which will later be clad in wood to form a bench. </li>
<li>The tubular hand rails which run along the roof.</li>
<li>Our gas locker and storage locker, which double up as steps onto the roof.</li>
<li>The apperature for the dog box </li>
</ul>

We were quite thankful for this delay given the various other commitments we have at the moment. So now we're expecting it to be ready by the end of the month, with a plan to transport it onto hard standing (dry land) to fit out in early October.

Today was a bit of a flying visit, but we had a good chat with our main man Abdul, who was cracking on with the 3-piece railings at the stern. After a quick debate we decided that a slightly wider break in the railings, allowing for more space to step onto the stern deck, was the best option.
In the pictures you can see the gas locker and the steering console next to it. We can't afford the hydraulic steering right now, but in the name of future proofing, we chose to have the console fitted as we hope to add it in a couple of years. We have asked the guys to stick a lid on the top so we can use it for storage in the interim.
You can also see the weed hatch inscribed with XR&D, so we assume this is where they keep their stash.Mohsenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05415632106891370749noreply@blogger.com0Boughton Industrial Estate N, Boughton, Newark NG22 9LD, UK53.2079077 -0.9742896000000200753.1983982 -0.99445960000002009 53.2174172 -0.95411960000002tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-899766102722554721.post-20155756696572383032016-08-25T09:30:00.000+01:002016-08-30T12:10:08.035+01:00My heart will go onToday was an exciting day, Richard has finished his course and we were able to visit the boat for the first time in about 3 weeks. Abdul was cutting out the window apertures, so if Emily changes her mind on the positioning, he'll be more than moderately annoyed. <br />

Self-explanatory - Emily taking her first stroll on the roof of the boat and the bow. There's also a picture of the inside of the boat, with all of the supporting struts still in place. These will be removed with the exception of one pole, which Richard is hoping to be allowed to keep.<br />

Emily has been working away on the floor plans and has done a first attempt at mapping the lights/sockets as well. We are still following the 'reverse layout' (as opposed to traditional) having the kitchen at the stern (rear). <br />

Today we took our floor plan to the boat and made final decisions on where the windows, hatches and dog box (sky light) should be. Garry made Emily sign and date her markings as a seal of approval. There's no way she'll change her mind now!
<br />
What you can see in the pictures is packs of ballast (bricks) that will be placed in the hull, in order to weigh it down and balance it in the water. There is a picture of the rubbing strakes that act as sacrificial pieces of metal, attached to the sides of the boat, that will take the impact of the inevitble bumps and scrapes she will have to endure. Also, take note of the chined sides - the angle between the base plate and the upright sides. This isn't traditional to canal boats but will help it swim and provide more stability on tidal rivers in particular.

We have priced, rebudgetted and repriced based on different combinations of window size and crucial form factor. Single pane <b>vs</b> double glazed <b>vs</b> double glazed with thermal break (in order of price).
<br />
Windows with a thermal break have an insulating material between the outside of the frame and the inside of the frame. This should mean that no heat transfer/loss occuars through the window thus no condensation. However, this technology comes at a cost of 25-30% extra.<br />

In the end we decided to go with an off centre and relatively small aperture (for a widebeam), to allow for more wall and cupboard space on the inside, for what will be our kitchen.
The guys at <a href="http://www.xrandd.co.uk/">XR&D</a> conjured up a rather clever idea, seen in the pictures below. They have cut a step on the stern deck, leading into the door way. The result is less steps protruding into the kitchen area itself, thus more internal space.

Once she got the hang of it, they pondered over where the door might be positioned and where the stern hand rail should go. Emily suggested an off centre door and a 3 part hand rail. Thoroughly interesting stuff. We all expect Emily to make a u-turn at some point next week.<br />

We should be heading up in the next few days to see it all for oursselves but for now we'll carry on designing the internal layout, which seems much more suited to our limited but growing understanding of the whole thing. We hope to find a way of constructing removable wall, giving us the option of a second bedroom or a bigger living space, as can be seen in the latest floorplan. <br />

Here you can see the bearers, which are the boat equivelant of joists, being welded to the base plate by our main man Abdul. Laying on the floor are a couple of side sheets. The 90<span class="st">° bend will be the gunwale, while the other bend (circa 45</span><span class="st">°) will run along the bottom of the boat - creating a multi-chined hull.</span>

The day before travelling to Glastonbury, we took the long drive up the A1 to visit our boat builders, <a href="http://www.xrandd.co.uk/" target="_blank">XR&D</a> in Nottinghamshire. They had the steel base plate down and a part of the stern formed, at this point I don't know what this curved shape is called but it can be seen in the picture below.<br />
