Build Day 142

Day 142 of the build of "Alanne". A change in the weather meant a drive to Liverpool in the rain.  On arrival, we made a dash from the car to the workshop dodging the precipitation.  Externally there is no change to "Alanne", but on the inside, Adam has been working hard.  All of the major joinery jobs have been completed.  We discussed the position of the LED lights for the boat and other electrical fittings.  The ducting for the blown hot air heating system is in place along with the outlets for each room.  There is a change in the plan for for the diesel fired heating stove in the saloon, the original model is no longer available and we have switched to a Harworth "Bubble" diesel stove.  This has the added advantage of a back boiler which could be linked to a bathroom radiator at some future date if needed.
At last the swatches of material for curtains and seat covers has arrived and we had a long browse through the various patterns and colours.  I'm not much good at visualising what the finished item will look like, I hope Anne is a better judge than me.
A minor hiccup has occurred with the siting of the gas bottles.  My original plan was to place them under the stern seat and have a very short run of gas pipe to the cooker hob.  This is now a non starter as the seat  cupboard isn't deep enough and has no ventilation.  They will now sit in the bow cupboard, which was the original position, but will need a good 50 feet of gas pipe to reach the galley.
As reported earlier the outside of the boat still waits for sand blasting and paint.  I can see this turning into another show stopper if it doesn't get done this week.
Adam expects to be completed by end of next week, so the end is nigh! ---------------- I HOPE.
