Floathouse gutted by fire.

In July the floathouse caught fire from an overheated task light and burnt out. What wasn’t actually burnt inside was irrevocably damaged by acidic smoke from the fire which pervaded every corner, crevice and void, coating everything in it's path. We were in the last throws of plumbing and electrics and due to move on for the summer three days later. Game over – or nearly, but we had huge support from many friends who were there when it counted and helped to clear up and even provided a boat to live on for the summer. A huge and heart-felt thank you to everyone. But it's not over yet. Completely gutted, shot blasted and painted, the new floathouse is well and truly underway. Watch this space.
