Heating at last

We have now managed to install the new burner unit on the boat and have heating, which is great in this weather.

Also the new seals for the dump through have been fitted. This was not such a bad job as we initial thought.

Now we are trying to solve some of the leaks we have. The main one comes from the side Hatch, and probably the best way to cure this with out major welding and new doors is to fit a Hatch cover to keep out most of the weather. As I still have some material left over from making the stern cover, cushions and wind break I will make if out of that

Serendipity has a very small bow area, which my husband made seats for out of old snooker tables, but it is not large enough to have a cratch fitted, so I am going to make a cover for the area in a thick tent window material, so we have lots of light into the boat and can still have the bow doors open when it is raining.

Serendipity layout is I believe called a reverse layout, bedroom at the bow, followed by bathroom in a room of its own, saloon area, then kitchen. We have kept it fairly open plan at the kitchen saloon end with free standing furniture, ikea futon for daughter, and ikea fold up tables. We have also adapt argos laundry boxes (wooden) into storage containers that double as seats for dinning. Allyn also designed a small slot in table that fits at the top of the steps leading to the side hatch that makes a great food prep, laptop, or what ever you want it to be area.

I will try to get some photos to post later.
