in an emergency you can put a larger hose over hole in old one and use jubilee clips to hold in place,until a new hose can be obtained.or even a piece of a bike inner tube.as the hose is open ended there should be no pressure on repair.

As several marinas have official residential moorings and are in effect landlords ,does this mean they have a duty of care to the residential moorers ? 14 skipper

Better make sure battery is ok in remote control to turn heating on then.

Becoming dryer ,Ah well can now look forward to the cold and snow this weekend

9.25am Black as night and tipping downand very windy on the lancaster canal.

why if the tank is low and with a large amount of water in it ,would you fill it with fresh diesel before taking the water out ?

Sorry but don,nt see how this could have been a "fresh tankful of diesel" then.

The water level is high if anything at the moment the link has now finished till next year.and as l speak its raining again . So no the level is not low its the canal bottom thats high !

Nor me they stop between Oct till end of nov then do christmas cruises,then nothing till spring.

Business for sale on the Lancaster,think you will need a lot of bums on seats to get your money back. http://commercial.apolloduck.co.uk/feature.phtml?id=443685

Got the impression from BWML its only going to be leisure moorings.

Deal !

not if you had seen the state of it,was disintegrating from inside out .had it looked at and it appeared to have been cooked to death.

very good mike,unfortunately the squirrel was driving me nuts covering boat in soot and fumes and so it was put out of its misery and put down. humanly smashed over the head with a club hammer and told to skip it.

Ah the winter the sun has been known to shine sometimes in the winter. lets see last year through the winter,l used a 32" tv.a sat box a leccy kettle,a halogen oven,a microwave oven .a mac computer.toaster.coffe maker.webasco heater.two oil filled radiators.So l guess this year l will have to turn something off to use the heater figure just because l live on a boat l don,nt have to live in the dark ages Usage is 100 - 300w depending on setting.

Unlike the solid fuel stoves the sides of the stove do not get hot,the unit can be nearer to surfaces then other stoves.the unit is actually further away from wall surfaces then the manufactures recommends. Top of stove only gets warm not hot,this is where the hooper containing the pellets is.The pellets are compressed saw dust,they come in 15kg bags paid £3.40 per bag,have only used one bag in the past week.unlike a solid fuel squirrel you can turn stove off at the press of a switch and on when required.there are 5 power settings and you can set stove to what temp you require.when the stove reaches required temp it switches to eco mode and just ticks over. Of course the real test will be when the winter comes. Has been working fine from batteries supply from solar panels. Narrowboat chelonian has had one for several years and gives more info on his web site http://chelonian.co.uk/about/wood-pellet-stove As for the squirrel it had a crack in the back plate,took a club hammer to it and in the skip it went !

From this to this

Thanks for info ,am using a Mac will this alter how l do things

how do l do that ? And how to insert them in a forum discussion ?
