This is to be our new home!  We shall name her Towpath Townie :)

Today was the day we re-visited the boat we’re buying.  We laid down the required deposit and agreed completion by the end of October with a months extension if necessary. Selling houses is so tediously long-winded!

I’ve included some photographs that we took today; not for your benefit but to give me the ‘vision’ I’ll need for the re-fit.  I already roughly know what I’m going to do and it’s this:

• Replace the galley with cream gloss modern units, a circular glass hob and integral oven.  I’m also fitting a narrow washing machine and marine fridge/freezer.
• Install my flight deck of a computer complete with tri-monitor set-up.  The monitors will be wall hung opposite the L-shaped corner suite that converts to sofa-bed for guests.
• Replace the bathroom with a full-sized shower cubicle, counter-top basin and storage cupboards to the side of the shower unit. I’ll get a new loo too!
• Higher my bed to accommodate further drawer storage underneath.
• Widen and higher my Daughters bed to the same spec as mine.
• Decorate the entire interior in funky white with splashes of colour yet to be chosen.

I wont need to replace the flooring through the boat; it’s brand new laminate in a pale bamboo colour.  Very nice actually.

Then I’m booking Lottie and I in for a two day helmsman course so we can handle our boat with confidence and safety.  Then LOOK OUT!  We’re hitting the ‘cut’ :D

WE’RE SO EXCITED!
