I have been busy today building these, a set of steps with the bottom step that slides away,( to gain access to the kitchen doors) The top 3 steps have lift up treads to give storage underneath. 🎄

Narrowboat Lady Grace came to me as a brand new boat, it was a mostly completed project, but the owners needed me to finish her, this included a complete paint job (with extra Cherilton Shine). There was also some interior work to do for me plus some electrical work so we had an external guy come in and do that due to tight time schedules. The bonded windows were also fitted whilst here and they look fantastic.Hope you like 😍

A couple of years ago we decided to build ourselves a Widebeam home. We had the shell built to our spec and then fitted it out to suit our needs. These are pics of the start of that project. Builtforusandneverlookedback.

The tape has now been removed to reveal the finished panel with the grey pin stripe. This boat is so nearly finished, once the cauldwells bonded windows have been fitted it's going to look amazing.

All of the top coats are now on and curing, next job is to apply some red panels and a red hand rail. Today I have also pulled The Chief in alongside and drained the dock. Looks like a busy weekend is approaching 😊

After a couple of spray applied under coats I am now top coating by hand NB Lady Grace. Even though this is a brand new boat I have still spent 6 days prepping the surface until I am satisfied that it's ready for the Cherilton shine. 😎

In the dock now I have my next project, another paint job on this newly fitted out boat. I will post more pics soon.
