All that said my daughter did land a 'rescue' dog 'free' by rehoming one direct form his previous home. A couple had bought him and subsequently adopted two kids. They found that they couldn't cope with two kids, working and a Labrador. A mutual friend put them in touch as she knew my daughter was looking to buy a lab puppy.
He was about two when she got him. Possibly one of the gentlest dogs going (people always say that!). She was a bit concerned about the reason for re-homing but they reassured her he was fine with the kids just that the workload was proving too much. He has proven to be a great companion and is as soft as anything with her niece (our granddaughter).

That is how a Labrador should look like , what beautiful coat

This is what we have on our stern doors ( could also use on bow doors ) it's called a jimmy proof lock on ours it locks the hatch as well as the doors

We have a fuel guard fitted not the cheapest but you never have to replace it as it has a washable filter and you can see straight away if there is any water/ muck in it as it is a clear bowl

Seen this stove / oven on Facebook diesel as well

Why don't you stick it on ? I have just lined my bottom half of the wardrobe with 10mm high density fire resistant foam added 2 vents one fitted with a 120mm computer fan that blows in

Went to get some screws out of my stern locker to see a boat in front of me pouring smoke out of his bow and roof vents and people crowded around, put my wellies on and whent to see if I could help man was sat in bow with his head hanging out and a woman trying to get him out would not leave his boat as his dog was in the boat, so we heaved him out under protest, so I went to the stern and opened the door and dog came flying out , firebrigaed was on the way , on talking to him he said he had just lined the roof out , so I presumed he had not left a fire break around his flue , fireman said all the roof was burning, gutted for him as it was his home , if it wasn't for that woman banging on the boat he and his dog would have been dead , also no smoke alarms fitted

If you use Fuel Set then you won't find any water in your tank because the Fuel Set dissolves the water into your diesel and then it goes through the fuel guard and injection system.

It does what it says on the bottle then

That is better than the silly brass fitting types on many boats including the Hudson I owned but rain can still get down the sides of the lid, how is the filler cap seated into the hull?
The neck is sealed to the hull and the lift up flap where the key goes has a lip with a o ring in it , I have used fuelset from day one ( 6 years ) and dip my tanks regularly with water finding paste no water detected up to now also have a fuel guard fitted

Yes, quite often, on rivers in gentle currents. To moor for lunch when the banks are unsuitable or unreachable. Also to hold the downstream end of the boat steady overnight when there's only enough room left on the pontoon to tie just one end of the boat to the pontoon's downstream end. So far, totally effective every time (56lb weight similar to that in Blackrose's post above, with a 67ft narrowboat weighing about 20 tons) but I've not tried it under strong stream conditions.
Same as

Very good point, why oh why does any boat builder/fitter ever still use the crappy silly design?
This is our fuel point, only seen this design on xr&d boats

You could use wood hardener on the wet bits

Take the lock of then undo the screws/bolts that hold the barrel take the old barrel out then fit a new one half hour tops

Would you not consider a diesel stove ie a reflex ?

Picture of pipe work , all I have to do is take the blue end cap off and attach the pump open vent bleed off , open valve ( only left handle on for picture ) and away you go , once set up takes less than half a hour to empty and fill again

We have a Barrus Shiers 45 I was like you I had doubts about doing it was worried about getting air locks in the system, I had the antifreeze for nearly 2 years before I got round to doing it , all that panic was for nothing piss easy to do , hardest thing was getting the coolant out off the engine bay , not any more though. After I drained the system I modified the pipe work buy fitting a drain off and adding a pump to the outlet, I flushed the system out five times just pumped it straight into 25ltr drums , I used 5 year antifreeze but the next time i do it will be even easier now I will put a picture on tomorrow how I altered the pipe work
