It IS a good idea... It IS a good idea.. It IS...

This is the warts and all account of the fit-out of this big steel floating box. In nine weeks it becomes home for the summer while we holiday let our house to make some much needed wonga. The budget is tight, so is the programme - no false deadlines here, we'll be homeless and I'll be a little bit unpopular. I've been a bit slow getting going - that would read "the design and planning phase is almost complete" but this is the honest version and I've had my head where the sun don't shine thinking about other things. There is mains electricity - which is a head start. There is also half a kitchen - a sink (no waste, there's a window for that - tap but no water as yet, still walking to the tap), a gas hob (unconnected, this sits alongside the camping stove which does for soup at lunchtime at the moment). The stove looks the part but lacks some essential innards. So just the rest of the kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms to build, heating, plumbing, electrics. Where's my Gannt chart? Better put the kettle on. I know this a good idea...
