I was full of great expectations that I would be able to say that my vanity unit and bath were plumbed in, fully working and just needing the tiling and a bit of painting done.
All went well on Tuesday, vanity unit plumbed in, no leaks, just needed the doors. Bath plumbed in, couldn't check for leaks as the water supply to it isolated until we get to a water point because we need to have enough water to fill the calorifer before we turn the water supply to it on.
Plan for Wednesday was to go to B&Q, get tiles, grout etc, then do a bit of grocery shopping, back to boat, move up to water point (less than a mile and one lock) and then all systems go.
All went well until we got back to the boat and turned the engine on, or rather didn't. All we got was a clunk! Then the rain came down so poor Ray was stuck with his head in the engine bay, having eliminated the simple answers, like a loose connection to the starter motor it was out with the generator to make sure we had enough power to watch the England match.
Today was spent checking everything, removing the starter motor and now Ray has gone off in search of somewhere that can check it for us.
At least we do have reasonable amount of water for everyday use.
Hopefully, next time, I will be able to include photos of my beautiful completed vanity unit and maybe even at least a partially tiled bathroom.
