LOCKDOWN JOBS Painting our NARROWBOAT TINY HOME back deck.

Whilst Stephen has been furloughed from work we have been working on a number of jobs which have been requiring attention, since we purchased the boat in August last year.

We plan to properly repaint the boat in the next year or so when funds allow. Painting the back deck at the moment was so we could have an outside space on the boat that we could enjoy in the summer, and hopefully be able entertain friends and family (once lockdown is fully lifted).

Let us know in the comments below what jobs you have been working on during the lockdown.

We’re Stephen and Kayleigh an English/ Scottish couple and along with our two dogs Hugo and Coco we will full time on board our 37ft narrowboat Grayswood. After living nearly two years in our self-converted campervan we decided we needed more space. So, as a compromise (Ste wanted a boat, I was happy in the van) we decided we would purchase a boat after spending some time on our friend’s narrowboat. Grayswood was conveniently located less that 5 minutes from my work and was found kind of by accident. I was visiting a friend who was staying in Aston Marina and whilst we were out walking the dogs, I seen the advert for Grayswood. I said to my friend “that looks a nice boat” and as I said it the marina manager appeared and asked if we would like a look inside. Naturally we did. After looking inside, the boat I texted Ste and told him I’d found us a boat. We made an offer after going back for a second viewing, after some negotiations within a week she was ours pending a survey. She was hauled out the following week and the survey went well. We kept her out on the hard standing for a further six weeks whilst we renovated the insides including fitting a new kitchen and bathroom.
