New Year and another Chance to visit..

We spent a lovely weekend with friends in Hereford, and continued on Monday to MGM at Thurmaston, to see Chance’s progress, as the spray foam and wiring had just been completed.

We are very pleased as it is a very neat job, and there is masses of overhead lighting and under cabinet lighting wiring and sockets where we have requested them.

Now the floor and ballast is down, MGM drew out our basic floor plan to give us an idea how the inside might look.  We made a few changes, notably the reduced depth washing machine we have purchased (400mm), which has now been moved to the island in the galley, instead of being under the main work surface, which will now give us more cupboard space in the galley.

We have now agreed the detailed layout so the fitting can begin and decided on the oven, hob and twin sinks in the galley.

The holding primer is being sanded down and the undercoat applied.

    Thanks for posting on our blog- we're glad to have found another narrowboat blog to follow. Can you tell us about the layout of Chance? We're always interested in how people choose to make the most of the limited space. Do you have a layout diagram?
    Looking forward to reading more.
