  1. Wickes do a paper booklet containing all the cabinet sizes which are normally dotted about the displays. Used a combination of 500mm, 400mm and 300mm wide units. The Belling oven fitted into a 700mm wide unit (I think) no just checked it was a 600mm wide unit
  2. I took my design for NB Veto to Wickes when we were moored at Pyrford. They priced it all up and then they delivered all the flat packs to Pyrford, I built them all up on the boat myself, Chris moved them to the appropriate places PS I got discount that they were running at the time and it didn't only apply if they fitted it.
  3. Thanks for organising this Richard 1 x veggie for me 1 x Carvery for Chris.

  6. Won't be until after the Historic boat gathering at Alvecote (August Bank Holiday) as we are having some refit work done, Sarah is aiming for finishing the week before.

  14. are you building new or buying second hand? if new you could consider lister or izuzu......... talk to Chris at marine engine services, uxbridge second hand lister, bmc or perkins.................. talk to same person for advice and spares but if you are mechanically minded then vintage as to how good and service reports a lot of owners don't record services!
  15. Hello, Get some e-cover multi surface cleaner, put cover on a solid surface apply e-cover (spray or liquid) use a stiff scrubbing brush rinse off simples! It also seems to inhibit regrowth of slime. SWMBO Mrs Baldock
  16. Aw noooo not narrowboat darts again pleeease

  19. Dont be taken in by the glossy photos, there will be problems with the wiring, chimney fitting, plumbing to name but a few. A widebeam (which was nearly finished) when we rescued it along with our boat when he went bankrupt, had to be snagged (by a marine mortgage company) for the owners and having already paid out £140,000 they were going to have to spend another £60,000 rectifying all the mistakes, which the mortgage company would not give them. The other three had smilar problems. Lise Mrs Baldock (SWMBO)
