Out goes the kitchen sink

After a week on the outside and until I can get more red oxide paint, I got stuck in to the interior and more cleaning rust, but also removing the 2 main bulkheads and the kitchen unit (2 small bulkheads still in place) The gas and water pipes have gone...only the water to be renewed cos not having anything gas on board...bottles far too heavy for me to manover, particularly in the winter getting them on an off the boat, bugger that....I remember us almost dropping one in the cut once.!!!!!! and its jolly expensive....changing 2 bottles twice a month ... harrumph harrumph indeed...... .so I am sticking to the decision and will have solid fuel and diesel only with solar panels and wind turbine back up. Saw some cracking kit at the crick boat show so by the time I will be ready there should be plenty of choice....
Needed to get a crowbar to the plywood side panels then a very good mask when removing the insulation..... and held my breath.!!!!!! anyway have now got a major start on the inside, almost 90% of the floor exposed and half the walls. but only below the gunnels.....above appears to need not much ...

Revealing so much of the interior gave me the idea that if I could clean and paint the floor where the solid fuel fire is going to be, then I could install it before the winter, and work through the cold weather....with the means to make tea and jacket potatoes to boot....ha whoopydooo...so I am spurred on. Have already seen the stove....its called the Portland multifuel for marine and has all the new boat safety standards / regulations accounted for, like insulated sides and flue, saftey rail and convection holes... Could be a Chrissy treat......

Sitting inside is making me start to think about wires and pipes and switches and lighting.....back to drawings eh !! ha ha
