    21' then, it's 46' now, I had a brain storm I thought it would be easier to stretch it rather than look for something that was finished, that was 16 years ago. What with work and life it's taken a while. Hindsight and all that.

    Lovely pics on your page, my partner and I helped the wooden boat society bow haul butty (Hazel or lillith) up the marple flight, forget-me-not was motor boat on our weekend trip to Sale. Seeing the photos brought back so memories. That was about 10 or more years ago. Beautiful part of the country.

    Pump feed is fine as long as you remember to switch pump on. Your right about lots of noise though when back boiler boils.
