I am in Awe...

Of Neils knowledge and skills. This man is a whizz at all things electrical, but is also a craftsman in wood. The sheer quality and thought that goes into every piece he works on truly leaves me speechless.

As Ali has already said, our visit today left us with smiley smiles. Our concept, somewhat vague as it was, has been honed by Ali and Neil into our dream boat, but better....

The depth of knowledge they have has enabled us to formulate a basic spec, then a plan, then modify this were needed all with no stress whatsoever.

The boat is looking fantastic. The woodwork is superb.

Now you know why we chose Beacon. It was never just the product, but the people who impressed and continue to do so.  Not that long to launch now, so if anybody wishes to take a look at our boat whilst in build, please feel free to take a look and visit. I am sure there will be a coffee/tea on offer and even a biscuit!

Worktops, cupboards & coming on!

We have been down to Beacon Boats today, a lovely day and a good journey down and back.  There is progress everywhere you look on the boat, the worktop has been fitted to the kitchen units.  We are really impressed with the Silstone Quartz from Midland Stone, from templating to fitting was only a week.  The worktop is black but has 'sparkly' bits in it. http://www.midlandstonecentre.co.uk/

Neil has made a fabulous job of making the chest of drawers for the bedroom, he has put the drawers into the wardrobe unit and has built the unit in the saloon since our last visit.  The photo's don't do either the wood or the quality of the units justice.

The base plate for the stove has arrived and has been fitted into the floor.  The back of the stove will have a piece of the quarts behind it, which has a wooden surround.

Painting of the exterior should start next week.

Quick Update

Just a quick update, Ali (M) finished blacking the boat on Thursday afternoon.  Unfortunately no photos, but I'll take some next time we are down.  I would think by now she is no longer smelling of of Eau de bitumen and Eau de white spirit!
