The boat store walls and ceiling have a smart new plastered surface. Having completed the boarding, a team of plasterers came in one weekend and did the lot. Skirting, sealing and painting (floor, walls and ceiling) comes next, then the light fittings and sockets can go in - we have an electricity supply metered and ready to use as soon as we can put in the fittings and connect the wiring through the consumer unit.
The boats in the container can be moved in as soon as the floor is painted - wall racking etc can follow once they are in - we have plenty of room to shuffle them around, pending fleet expansion when we are ready (for example the 15 kayaks and ancillaries we have funding for).All of the external walls on the ground floor are now insulated, and most have vapour barrier too. The building inspector has been in and confirmed that all is well, so we can press on - boarding walls, wiring, insulating ceilings, fitting door frames and doors, heating and plumbing...
We have working parties arranged for the next 2 weekends - lots to be getting on with so we are hoping for a strong turnout.
