Cabinets, Benches, Flue and Sinks

The internal fitting out begins, after 7 years in the railway carriage there was a definite flavour of “Boldly Going where no man had gone before”.

Berthing the Enterprise

The kitchen Island bench, incorporating insinkerator and cooktop, came to be known as the 'Enterprise' - we used this locating system to secure the vessel in place.

The copper tube fits in a recess in the bottom of the legs - the layers of malthoid varied to take up the different levels in the sandstone floor.

Klingons beware! / Wiring the Flue

The 'Enterprise is being fitted with a full-throated, multifunction matter-transference system - also known as an exhaust flue.

Intended mainly to reduce humidity-buildup in the main room from cooking vapours, it also serves to suck alfoil, paper and other intruders out!

You can see the legs of master-armourer James at work deep in the transporter room.

The kitchen nearing completion

The kitchen nearing completion - the variable-temperature sealable thermal cavity (oven) installation is not yet complete.

The lack of Klingons is evidence of the efficiency of the exhaust flue.

After ordering the fans I finally found a firm which designed commercial exhaust systems, their comment on my design was that it was double the capacity required for a large deep-fryer installation. It is so strong it will suck up bits of paper or alfoil from about 300mm below the hood.

The Bare-bones Vanity

The bathroom sink - simple but very efficient - well easy-to-use!

The exposed plumbing was a concern for the plumbing team who were used to having their work remain out-of-sight.
