As long as hire boats are deep cleaned between hires then boating on the canals seems a great way to relax this year.
I for one, would not have any faith in that!

I think the public are slowly getting the message....towpath pretty quiet today, see what the weekend brings.

I have just spoken to a C&RT employee at the locks, he said they were trying to allow peeps to return to their home moorings where practical.

In defence of those boats (and I mean boats that you can live on) they may need water or to empty their pump-out, then they do HAVE to move.
Not when they have just come up a lock flight where there is a water point both at the top and bottom of the flight. A disposal point at the top and a winding hole within 500 metres!

Not much difference between them and the muppets that are still cruising past, four boats this morning!!

If going down the Araldite route, remove the damaged part, pop it in a saucepan with some washing powder and water and give it a good boil up to remove any traces of oil before attempting to glue it!

or the bubble boiler from Harworth heating?
I use the Harworth boiler.
An excellent bit of kit and totally user serviceable.
Yes, it is 240v but with care and sensible battery management I have had no problems.

looks like a good machine, especially the 10 year extended warranty.
You may struggle to get an engineer to come out to you on the cut should you require one.

I think the carpet fitter got a little confused.....mind you, the seller is probably "taking those for another project"

Yep,entirely unsuitable for the canals.
Pretty boat though but you would probably spend at least £15000 on an engine installation.

I've never heard them called "pleasantries' before!?

but they did quote the British Standard that you should be working to. IMO this would put an installer in a bad place if something went wrong and he hadn't worked to that standard
My thoughts exactly, and we all know the lengths that insurance companies will go to to wriggle out of a settlement!

Are you referring to the blacking?
-
When was it last blacked?

Welcome supertramp, ask away!

This is a very sad situation. The gentleman involved was a personal friend of mine, his family have been informed.

Hi, sorry I was in the middle of drawing a diagram this morning when I had a call from a customer and had to rush out. I’ve drawn a rough diagram in the above post now. It’s not anyone here’s responsibility to fix obviously and I can get by with lukewarm water so it’s not an emergency, if anything I’m just trying to learn a bit about how this system works in case I can fix it myself before I call out a plumber and I appreciate the help.
i think you’re right actually the waterpuppy is to drain the shower and the domestic pump is somewhere buried in the wall behind a chest of drawers. This whole boat has a very non standard setup with the inverter running off the batteries without any input from the mains power so when it’s plugged in all the mains power does is keep the batteries charged. Very strange setup but we were desperate to get out of a dangerous living situation when we bought it and just wanted a boat we could sail away and live in that wasn’t going to need blacking overplating and engine work any time soon

Oh I see, he's fishing inside the boat. What's he trying to catch?
