  1. I'd like to keep tabs on this thread and any recommendations as I am also about to make replacement locker lids and already Mrs J has said she wants similar waterproof cushions. So any experiences welcome...

    This sounds more positive. I hope they get it all sorted properly for you.

    Welcome. "One of them things". It will be interesting to hear others' experience, but I'd be furious!

    Generator

    I don't think there's much of an alternative if you are off the grid. Hopefully putting on some solar in the spring will help, but until then?
  9. Now that's cheap! I wonder what the hull, electric & engine issues are.

    Stolen Boat

    Seriously? I'd always reply if I'd taken advice and it worked out. Feedback is good and helps newbees like myslef to know what advice actually worked. Just saying...
  12. Hi Ricky. Welcome. So many threads already posted for new boaters looking to live aboard. I suggest you have a good look around and then come back with questions I'm a newby myslef. But unless you already have a love for boating based on at least a trial on a hire boat out of season you aren't in a position to make a big decision like this. If you are a boat lover you are in the right place to get the advice you need
  13. Candles to hide the gas smell? Scared. I've wired up a 12v gas sensor alarm in the galley. Why? Boat surveyor recommended it in addition to CO and smoke. I'd rather be safe TBH. What's 70 quid?

  15. I'd only comment that we have had a son and stepson at Uni and both have used laptops for everything. And no TV license needed so long as not watching TV live or using Iplayer. Both considered tellys but decided not to bother...
  16. Whilst I have no advice for you, it sounds like an adventure and look forward to reading about it in the future.
  17. I don't understand the emphasis on the ash bucket? Can you explain?
  18. Hey Paul. I'm a new boater too. Had her about a month. I'll be the first to welcome you and tell you what a great resource this is for a new owner. I've not yet had a question that hasn't been quickly answered.

    Stolen Boat

    It's been stolen twice?
  20. It should. What happened to Starry? Is she still here or in the other place?
  21. It's great to see all the money the PO has spent on lovingly caring for the boat. I've similar binders going back 15 years. It's also a clue to what you will be doing ove the next few years! Good luck with the new boat. I know just how you feel.
  22. Well mine works. I had the door on the squirrel open whilst opening a new bag of fuel. All the windows and doors closed. Its bloody loud!
  23. Thanks. Though I've still yet to find the imaginary float operated second bilge pump the PO is sure was fitted...
  24. My surveyor advised a gas detector too, so I've wired one up to the 12v. Necessary??
