C.Ricko Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 Hi Jonny, she is very open plan now (especially aft) and the port side is galley not leaving much spare room anywhere, the double is now in the front and there is a pull out bunk opposite the galley so if it is not under the loo then I will have to think a bit more about where to put it.

C.Ricko Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 This is where I have decided to put the toilet tank, it will basically be under the toilet. I am having an ITT toilet with a short pipe. The tank will not be very big but that should not be a major problem. The pipes in the picture are from the 'thunderbox' which was removed long ago and replaced with a portaloo thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Hi Clive, Would a drop through Travellar type toilet not work in that space? The toilet base being the tank like on my boat?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Ricko Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 Hi Jimbo, Yes it would, thing is I may change the toilet to an electric type which would be less hastle than if there was a big hole in the tank. Also I am not sure how often I would be getting pumped out and when the wether is hot and the tank has been full a while things are ok until the crust is broken but after that spending time in the 'smallest room' is not too nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Ricko Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 not an overly exciting post but out with the old BMC 2.2 engine and nasty TMP gearbox and the replacement BMC 2.5 and PRM gearbox waiting to be cleaned up, sprayed and a chrome rocker cover put on before being re fitted. There has been a bit of progress if you count this (chrome rocker cover) Also we will have to see how far into the season we get before the writing is ignored Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Ricko Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 If it had been a 4108 it would have been an inside the wet shed job , I need some bits for mine :dance I cant beleive it would happen in a crime free zone like Stalham, good job the engine is not in the boat. Anyway there is a consortium in the wet shed who have their own CCTV set up so you better watch out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodall_m1 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Clive, No updates on this thread since March, have you mothballed the project now that the punters are back on the river? Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Ricko Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 Hi Martin, over the past few weeks a little has been going on but not much due to the fleet, private work etc 'my' jobs get put on the back burner, however, I have a part made fuel tank, I decided which toilet to have, the engine has been sprayed and most of the bilges have been scrubbed ready for painting. On Friday we hauled her out into the shed and set her up, Today the soft planks were taken out (2) also two planks where a keel cooler went in and out, these planks were hard but it is better not to have patches on the bottom so they will be replaced. the cabin sides will be scraped/sanded back to better wood as they dont look too good at present and a few other jobs will be done but as I want to get her on the water I think she will not look her best until next year when all the little things (and some big) are done. this picture is of where the two soft planks came out, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Ricko Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 got the planks in the bottom yesterday, not much really, just these three and the two short bits cut out instead of plugging the holes from the old keel cooler.. no progress today or any until Tuesday I recon. we have had a belt sander on the cabin sides and also scrapers, they have a couple of quite bad areas whic we hope will come up well, I will get some more photos when there is a bit more to see..

C.Ricko Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 pallets indeed thats finest recycled formica faced ply available lots of belt sanding going on with the cabin sides, they were not in a good way, also scraping to do on them then sanding down the grades, takes a lot of work to make them look flat, smooth and shiney... looking good though, got two really good blokes on the job..

C.Ricko Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 Thanks for putting them up Terry, as you say the picture was in her 'earning days'. They were only built for one purpose and they did get one hell of a hammering! poor old girls.. Gordon, we have still to meet, I did not know you were going to be there.. Glad you like Broadsventure, work should resume this week with more work to the cabin sides and a toilet/plinth being installed.. As for the bus, well she passed her MOT last Wednesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springsong Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I was on my way to Haines the other day and I thoght I saw the bus parked up at the garage, did I ? She has a much shorter wheelbase than I imagined, or did I have too fleeting a look ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
