Today we have been busy replacing our kitchen window with a new one. All the windows in the houseboat will be replaced. We want triple-glazed windows everywhere and in several places there will be much larger windows than today. We have also bought windows where the wood is protected by aluminium, so that they are more resistant to the weather.
Window replacement in the houseboat
Some of the windows will not be changed until we take the boat ashore, but we will change some before that. Of course, any work that can be done before the boat is brought ashore makes things easier. At least the first window is now changed!

It is always nice with new nice windows...we will also soon change the last 2 windows in the house...only the snow disappears. You do not seem to have so much snow where you are 🙂 At least it was nice with you.

1. Peter is so incredibly talented as luck would have it (for those who document). I've never understood how you can change a window just like that, how the f*n does it work with fitting and everything.
2. the new window is great. What a difference!
3 - ASG to the neighbour's comment - thought exactly the same thing and thought of the Railway Grill at East Station when I saw the hatch.
4. am immensely grateful that I live in HSB brf;-)

Big difference in terms of light and views. What an asset that Peter is so good at his craft. Yes, you too, of course. I understand that....
Nice to follow your work on the boat. Impressed! Really impressed!

Of course, I think mullions are beautiful, but your new window was better with that view.

Bars are nice, but maybe not the main thing on a boat, more on the cottage in the forest. You got a nice view. Funny that the boat is actually made of wood on top, it's a bit like having a house, but it floats. I guess the hull isn't wood, or is it? I know nothing about boats.
Have a nice Sunday!

Deciree, no, the snow is gone...! But we had snow just a few days ago.
BP, Peter knows how to build! Hehe, there was not much barbecue through the hatch, but Peter ordered a whiskey.

Ditte, well, I'm mostly a handyman... haha.

Steve, I also think glazing bars are nice. But we prioritise the view, and good modern windows.
Inga M, as I said, I also like glazing bars, but a view seems more important. In addition, the old windows are very worn and only double glazed or single glazed in some cases. The hull is made of steel.

Nice and good view!

Yes, there is always something to do whether you have a villa, apartment or houseboat 😉 Nice it turned out without bars!

I think you are incredible for doing everything so well! Surely it looked like a sausage kiosk! 🙂

admin says:
Lennart, that's right! The single-glazed windows on the upper deck are not resistant to either...
Across the board, absolutely true...
Sure, everything we get fixed now makes it a little easier later!
