So...how do you fit out a widebeam :) The question has gone through my head a few times already. To be honest, having lived on a narrowboat for a year, I've become accustomed to the way my old boat worked. I was fortunate during the past year, to experience most of the challenges that life on a boat with a family can throw at you. I've also gotten used to certain appliances, and have decided to fit the widebeam with the same types of things. Coal/wood stove for heating. Gas heater for heating water. Jabsco 20psi water pump. etc etc. It's important I think that when you fit out a boat, you should have some experience on previous boats so you know what to expect at the end of it. Equipment can be costly, and I'm on a shoestring budget. Here's a list of the work and items we're planning on fitting in the new boat. 1. Tongue and groove type flooring. 2. Ply walls and ceilings. 3. Jabsco water pump. 4. Morso gas water heater. 5. Wood/coal stove. 6. Kitchen cupboards. Make the frames. Buy the doors and work surface. 7. Water filter and accumulator. 8. Gas piping to cooker, heater. 9. Plumbing to kitchen, shower, toilet. 10. Seperating walls for bedrooms, shower/toilet/main bedroom. 11. Kitchen and saloon is open plan. 12. Layout is reverse...kitchen and saloon lead onto back stern area for entertaining. (table/chairs) 13. Connecting leisure batteries, isolators, fuses, inverter. 14. Connecting 220V wiring, isolators, plugtops,lighting. 15. Using low wattage 220V lights mostly. Some 12V led lighting as a backup. 16. holes for shower and sink drainage. 17. work desks for kids. 18. window blinds. 19. Cupboards for all the clothes. 20. A hinged bass for main bed, for extra underbed storage. 21. tv unit in the saloon. 22. Fitting all kitchen appliances. Fridge. Freezer. Cooker. Dishwasher. Washer. Drier. Microwave. 23. Lighting. 24. Paint outside of boat. 25. Fire equipment and smoke, CO alarms. I'm sure I've forgotten something? :)
