Cruiser restoration and wheelchair adaption

fergal.b

So here she is my next little project

she is a Richardson Roving Gem that I hope to convert to take the wheelchair, I'm going to need all the help I can get with this so feel free to offer what you have :rolleyes: I'm going to try and get her moved to Skerries and see if I can pick up a trailer to back her into a driveway as it's too tight to have a crane lift her in. So let me know what you think or any ideas you have. I must be mad

After a bit of a power wash

Inside all stripped out now I have a blank canvas.

This is what she looked like back in the 70's at least the new TV won't take up as much room:)

Is she a one off, built for wheel chair access and how did she end up in Ireland?

Well spotted, I have no idea how she got here or what she was till you pointed it out I just thought she would do the job for when the young lad becomes a young man.

It was well worth reading, wasn't it

Especially when you see the finished product.

An inspirational thread. You and yours deserve a great Xmas.

New cover made by Jill and Giles of the Barge Hawthorn great job I must say.

Easy in and out.

It's like having an extra room

looking great Fergal . here's hoping to a good summer on the water

Bought some sticky back teak affect flooring on ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/95x35x5mm-Gold-Black-Marine-Boat-Flooring-EVA-Foam-Teak-Decking-Carpet-Mat/222564688850?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649 to cover the back of the boat I bought enough to do the swim platform as well but now I feel it will be overkill if I do

I cut out a template using wallpaper backing and then cut out the flooring.

Might be too much if it was all done. Maybe a middle section in a black textured paint like roof felt kinda thing.

You'll never stop Fergal! That wee touch looks great.

10K HOLIDAY HOMES
New show coming soon to primetime ITV. This brand new format starts on August 7th and sees Julia Bradbury join forces with Max McMurdo as they go in search for a holiday home costing less than £10,000. The journey takes them all over Europe visiting people who have already taken on the challenge.

Not sure what week the boat will be on but will let you know when I do

wonski

Please do.

I just finished reading the whole thread recently and wow, just wow!

FanadMan

That'll be cool to see - especially after following this thread from the beginning.

fergal.b

I may be ok at doing up boats but don't expect anything of me from behind the camera I hate the bloody things and I really only start talking after I have had about 10 pints

Don't worry about it, we'll only be watching to see Julia, sorry I meant Aquarius.

fergal.b

Looks like it's not on the first one but might be worth following anyway as there is only 6 episodes. https://www.radiotimes.com/tv-programme/e/gthtcg/10k-holiday-home--series-1-episode-1/

You were just mentioned on Countdown by Julia Bradbury. Well, not mentioned by name but something like "a man in Ireland raised a boat and restored it"

All publicity is good publicity

Well it looks like tv3 will be taken over by virgin media on the 30th and there is no listing for "My 10k holiday home"

so the only way to see it is on itv tomorrow night if you add it to your channels on sky.

New Home

That's disappointing!!!

FanadMan

That has to be the worst timing ever

Bloody Virgin!!!!

fergal.b

Well that was short and sweet

Sorry about the quality I had to record the TV on my phone.

New Home

Fair play Fergal, that was spectacularly done!

Yayy, I just made it home in time to catch it on ITV+1

Looking forward to seeing your Magnum Opus, Fergal

HeidiHeidi

No lifejacket, Julia??? :eek:

(Glad to see you had yours on, Fergal!)

Unless there's more to come in Part II, that was FAR too short and sweet.

Looks bloody fantastic, though - next time I'm even vaguely in the vicinity of Athlone I'll invite myself for a looksee!

Missed it, it's repeated at 1.05pm on Saturday afternoon on ITV1.
