It may be that your packing has been over tightened leaving no room for the grease to enter the stern assembly. Dig out, replace and don't tighten any more than necessary. As others have said, a new run of soft copper pipe and correct sized olives is a useful upgrade.
-
It may be better to keep level, or slightly lower as you will feel less on show when sitting there. A mixture of iris or similar reed like plants, along with some that tumble down to the water will give a natural feel and allow glimpses of canal and boats.

One advantage of wood is that it is possible to collect your own, and you can purchase it in white builders bags at a much better price. Depending on storage space available, a mix of coal and wood is probably most economic and useful.

I was told that this was painted by Ron Hough, a very heavy can.

Report away, but I would imagine that most would find your original post far more so.

Agreed, I was reluctant to respond but the sick nature of the post outweighed this. I've no problem with necessary pest control but definitely do with actions as of the O.P. unfortunately, there's no cure for an inherently sick mind.

Needless cruelty, and nothing to boast about. Inaccessible traps can be placed with a wire to retrieve the now dead rat caught in a conventional trap.

I've often wondered if an alternator designed for a lorry may be a better option as most are low revving (limited to 3,000 rpm)?

You can normally pop the valve out of its housing by removing the circlip and then pressurising the system - be ready to catch it though as it comes out at some velocity! An accidental discovery..

Have a look under the well deck, as most integral tanks are right in the pointy bit and there is often storage space under the deck behind it. As someone pointed out, check all other requirements are met, if not, another craft will definitely be a better alternative as multiple modifications are both expensive and a compromise.

There's at least one on a narrow canal, Brinklow boat services use one.
-
There are a few boatyards that use an oversized barge as a dry dock. With a door or stop planks at one end, the barge is sunk to allow the boat to be worked on to enter it, the door/stop planks are replaced, water pumped out and you then have a floating dry dock with a boat inside. This may be a realistic option if space allows.

BSS compliance - breather pipes meeting BS7840 specification
BWM replied to pedroinlondon's topic in Boat Equipment
You may need to ask someone who specialises in historic/unusual craft. My former cargo carrying narrow boat has tanks with internal fillers and vents, and being built that way is exempt - how that translates to yours, I don't know the answer. -
For a moment I thought Nutsak was playing a squeeze box!
-
Even though they may not reuse an old nest, it is not unusual for wasps to add on to a previous nest in a desirable spot. I've seen some that are several feet across!

Wasps are very useful for much of the year, both for pollination and pest control. I'm no fan of them either!
