https://3g.co.uk/reviews/homefi-review I have been looking at this. It gives you WiFi throughout the boat and seems very reasonable.

Thanks

So is that sodium percarbonate oxygen bleach?

Have you got a link please

Does anyone know if these biological digestion tablets are any good? Some like Toi Blet claim to breakdown the contents of the tank making them non smelly and the contents become harmless and safe to dispose of. Seems too good to be true. What do most people put in their tanks. Especially those who use SPO (but please let's not go there!) Thanks

Done thanks

I could not work out how to do that without some type of sign in

I am interested in a boat review written by Adam in 2013. Does anyone know how to contact him?

The article appeared in Waterways World July 2018. Page 86-87. Crafting A Living. by Sophie Hale. "Life Afloat. Before buying Oshun, my partner and I had never slept on a boat, driven a boat, or even been on a hire holiday. We had absolutely no experience but just threw ourselves into it. Thank goodness we love it. The main thing that I'm blessed to have learned from living afloat is how to be adaptable. You can't run the taps like you can in a house, you have to walk your rubbish to the bins or the car, and you have to be careful not to rinse the batteries."

I didn't think that "running the taps and walking your rubbish to the bins" made the phrase "Rinse the batteries" clearer. Please explain what you mean and what the phrase means. Now that's a possibility. We'll done!

The full context was "you have to be careful not to rinse the batteries" l guessed this meant flatten them but wondered if it was more specific than that.

"Rinse the batteries" I read this phrase in Waterways World and don't know what it means. Could someone put me out of my misery please........

That's why the bath in this boat was no good for me. Instead of stepping down in to a shower on the centreline you were stepping up into a bath on the hull side.

Exactly right

That's what I expect too, being 6'4 " actually rules out all boats.

Oh good. I hope they enjoy it.

Calorifier looked OK it was under the bed. They did not know about the water tank, no one from the brokers is there on a Sunday. The engine ran sweetly enough and looked pristine It had sat in a marina for 4 years, not that that's unusual, so the state of the hull would be crucial to buying it.

I'm 6'4" so when I stand in the bath the shower is too low. A shower in the centre of the boat would be better. Also the toilet is tight alongside the bath I'm a bit too wide. As for a jacuzzi on a boat............

Went to look today. Nice boat. Pros: engine has only 200 hours. Tall headroom (I'm 6'4") No obvious problems, all the pumps electrics etc look good. Cons: needs blacking. Has very little storage so needs cupboards fitting throughout. Bathroom is unusable.

Read the previous thread about market price. Totally confused now. We will go and look at it today and see. Certainly needs a few more cupboards to make it live-aboard. Needs blacking also. And a cratch cover. Don't mind getting this done. Only real concern is the canaline 38 which is on the edge according to their Web site (45-57 feet) Should I worry about this if I wanted to take it onto the odd River?

Thanks Mike. Yes reputation is a better word. The boat was built in 2014 using a Mike Christian shell. It ticks a lot of the boxes we want so I have tried to do a bit of research before going to look at it. The advert is here: http://narrowboats.apolloduck.com/boat.phtml?id=562953

Hi Does anyone know anything about a firm called DTS boat builders? I am going to look at a boat that was fitted out by this company but can't find out anything about them. On the surface the boat looks fine and I would have a survey done if we decide to purchase but would like to have some idea of the quality of their work

OK can someone explain what EXACTLY this thing called luck is? I've read about it in Harry Potter but I thought that magic was fictional.

The mother on the film seemed able to leave her boat very easily at the end for a van! Very strange. Also odd that the couple who went to explore the canals were disappointed because they found no itinerant communities, nothing about the beauty of the scenery, freedom, nature or the joy of living on a boat. It seems these people were more interested in their "homes" (never boats?) than living on the canals.
