        First cabinets made, just need to finish them off with oak veneer and doors plus a nice oak top to it.

            Done some tiling around the fire and started to put the kitchen together. Bit harder than a house as nothing is really square on a boat and spirit levels are useless. Everything leveled by eye really.

                Well the boat is reasonably square but not like a house would be. Its also sat on hard standing which isn't exactly level so the whole boat isn't level to start with. Have to measure from a reference point and fit everything so that it 'looks' right.

                        It's 12 ft wide. Kitchen is pretty big to be fair but will be a living space too.

                          Main steps into the boat are almost finished. Just need to screw it all together now and add hinges to the lids to allow access to storage space.

                            Steps look tidy, did you consider building storage into them aswell? with either a lid on the steps or pull out draws?

                                The steps aren't 100% complete yet. They will have hinged lids to allow access to the space below.

                                Dogs will love the extra space.
