    A lot of farm houses were limewashed yearly as it also stops bugs growing on the walls so it is beneficial where lambs are being born.

    It is the best thing for painting old houses. It is breathable and thus allows the wall to breathe. A lot of silly people paint their old houses with Sandtex and then wonder why they get damp walls

    We used Quicklime on the lime pointing course I did.

    Are you actually saying that you do the full round turn as depending on the rope size I doubt with that eye you will get a full round in, and you do a half round and half hitches

    And the fender is always the same size. If the bank is low you will want to lower the fender to stop it riding up. If it is a wooden piled mooring the piles can be higher then the gunwales so you need to shorten the rope
  8. Tonka
    So the banks will always be the same height when you moor. Never going to moor against piles like on the Thames

    Is it going to of fixed length or are you going to want to lengthen and shorten the rope length

    But your scheme means the Crt management have to behave differently to the way they have been doing. When forum members have suggested changing the management team to bring in fresh ideas you have been anti and had a go at them and even called them Parry bashers. You have even called me one.

    Any idea when this year's packs are being sent out. Also can the poster bit be sent out early to give people a chance to print it out. I am wondering whether to go to the Longwood rally the weekend before and then I could collect the pack there. @Captain Pegg have added you here in case you are not following the thread

    Bob Carolgees of Spit the dog fame used to hire his Mindon built narrowboat out. Can't remember the name of it

    There appears to be some well off owners that own ex working boats. So that breaks the rule

    But does it cost more because there is less demand.

    If you read up on traditional building methods with Lime you will find that the houses were more sustainable and did dry out after flooding but unfortunately everyone is in a rush now so cement took over which takes ages to dry out after flooding

    Yes a lifestyle which includes freeloading. Like the gypsy lifestyle which includes defecating in public because they won't do it in their caravan

    My engine room side doors only have steps one side as the alternator is in the way to have steps fitted both sides

    A Dawncraft built pre 1970 had a wooden hull. So may of had one from new
  22. Tonka
    I thought that most Dawncrafts were outboard
  23. Tonka
    Does it have an inboard engine?
  24. Tonka
    Well at least Scotland are doing something about it by banning solid fuel stoves as the main heat source in new builds from April 1 2024

    The alleged incident happened in Stone. Not sure what actually happened. The poster got annoyed when people questioned the post. Think he left shortly after
