First drawings

Just attempting to get all the basic measurements on to one page. This was to scale (well sort of ) on A4, but on rotation it has squeezed up a little so looks shorter and the back & front decks are very much out of scale, but its good enough for starters.

Have been sitting inside contemplating where all the water pipes, electric cables and things that must be sorted before anything else happens. There is a route from front to back through the base struts to take the cold water from the storage tank (under the front deck) to where it will be stored and heated (in a calorifier by the steps next to the back deck). The calorifier also has to be accessed from the gas heat exchanger which will be fitted to the engine exhaust pipe. This heat exchanger will provide hot water and also be piped round the interior for all round heating and a couple of radiators whilst cruising. Good space for the pump will be under the front steps

Top diagram shows the kitchen space at the back, toilet compartment in the middle and the front half is devoted to all living and sleeping....she is only 35ft long in total and with 7ft each front and rear decks, leaves approximately 21ft of interior to play with .... 10 years of cosyness but how did we manage ?.....ah yes, on the bank at the moorings, Jim built a shed and a splendid shower/washing machine and toilet room, all still used by the present day residents. I will have a mooring there when Wildrose is back in the water, but it could be some considerable time ha ha... but with only 21' x 6'6" of space, its going to be interesting to see how it comes together. Always remember ... measure twice, cut once ....its Jim's Law ha ha.... but there's still a lot of dirty work yet before any refitting.
