Through the square window...
This post is mainly focused on the fitting of the windows from Wesley Marine. We have 4 standard hoppers with mitred top corners in matt black and 4 portholes down each side of this 50ft vessel. On the port side there is a also a set of hatches so it makes for a lovely light boat. We have also chosen a light oak effect window liner, which finishes the effect very neatly and ties in with the modern feel we are creating. We have had to do a fair bit of grinding to smooth the metal before it receives the window but this is just to ensure a snug fit and thus prevent any future leaking - and we have had plenty of opportunity to test that in the last few days! We have used a router and grinder to tidy the hole cut in the lining wood and cut the depth of the liner to fit.
Then we have moved on to begin fitting the floor in a walnut/dark oak laminate. This will contrast nicely with the white and varnished finish that will be put on to the walls as well as the chosen kitchen doors and units.
