Fitting out a widebeam (or any boat), becomes something all consuming. You find your mind thinking about different aspects of the project every hour of the day. Everything is viewed in the shadow of "the project". I dont think that will change until the last item is in place. When we moved onto a narrowboat we had to downsize and get rid of so much clutter we had collected in a house the previous 2 yrs. Now that we face moving from a narrowboat to a widebeam, it's very strange to once again be thinking of what we can throw out...rather than how much extra space we'll have. The reason I guess is that the widebeam allows us to give the kids their own space, while still having a main bedroom and a saloon area. At the moment, we dont have those luxuries. Giving the kids their own rooms however, means a lot of our clutter, really has to be re-organised....not an easy task. Of course I've planned the main "areas" of the new boat, but there's so much I havent planned. Where does the vacuum cleaner get stored. What about the ironing board. At the moment its down the side of our fridge. We dont want the same on the widebeam. What about all the shoes. 2adults and 3 kids = piles of different functional shoes. Jackets? They take up soooo much space. Tools? Coal? It's all the things you dont actually want to see, but you need them "around". I've watched some great YouTube videos on how to make the most of limited space. I'm going to make use of all the options. :)
