New oak window liners

Our new oak window liners are finished and ready to be shipped to us. They were not cheap but will finish off the windows perfectly. Just hope my measurements were good and they fit ok.

We ordered 4 x window liners and an 18.5 inch porthole liner. We should get them Monday/Tuesday next week.

They only took 9+ weeks to get to this stage! Good thing we had lots to keep us busy...

Partition walls up.

The cabin is really looking like a boat cabin now that most of the oak t&g is done. The partition walls for the shower/toilet are in and cladded. We have made a door for this room. Made from solid oak and my old favourite - t&g.

 I was going to use dowels on the door frame but it all became a bit complicated and time consuming! I therefore went for the trusted glue and screw method which performed very well.

 We now put our attention to cladding the seating area. At first we were simply going to apply clad to the seat frame. I thought this looked a bit plain. A bit more time was spent cutting architrave with mitred 45' cuts. We think the finish looked superb, especially in oak. See pics below.

Top of the door. The darker frame looks good.

The architrave on the rear seat. Makes it look like a quality piece of furniture.

A view of the shower room. We used a solid piece of oak for the room edges and sanded the exposed edge.

Looking good but I think I'am OAK MAD!

Stud walls go in..

A good weekend working on the boat. We have constructed the stud walls for the shower/toilet room. The room is about 4ft square. Big enough. We didn't want to lose the open plan feel. We used treated 25mm   

 by 35mm stud and have cladded in oak t&g. We intend to make a door for this room as 'normal' doors are way to heavy. I will make this in my garage this week and hopefully it will be ready to take down this Saturday.

Stud and cladding going up.

Toilet and shower tray to judge the size needed.

Not a bad size. Both stud walls now cladded and door to build.

Charlie, one of our Border Terriers can be seen looking for food!

Next visit to the boat will be this Saturday. We are enjoying the build and we think we are now really progressing well.

New shower cubicle.

We have purchased our new quadrant shower cubicle and tray. It is a reduced height cubicle at 1750mm high (even though box states 1900mm high!). The tray is 130mm high and the height in the cabin is 1970mm. So plenty to spare.

1900mm..no it's 1750mm. I've measured it.

Quadrant tray.

 We paid a good price as well. Only £145  and £7 delivery. Not bad as we had seen others for £500+!!!

 Plumbing starts tomorrow.
