I was thinking exactly the same thing!

I can't recall if you are making use of recycled plastic - if you are this is something I would definitely promote as an important feature.

I reported the rats to the council a few years back. The wheelie bins on the castle gardens moorings didn't have lids and they were quite literally swarming with large, energetic rats - so much so that the noise of them woke me up at night! It was quite alarming as I really didn't want them coming into the boat.

Also, did you pay a deposit? If so there is a chance you will not get it back if you cannot show there is £x amount of work needed on the boat.

Massive thank you to @MtB. Following your information we uninstalled the boiler and now have a gas-safe plumber booked in to install and commission it. Really appreciate your help. 😊

Does he add something to make it non-slip? Not sure I'd want to be on a roof painted in just a semi-gloss, but he is a boat painting expert (unlike me).

I've finally worked out how to make a photo small enough to use! Happy to play the nurse but, be warned, you might feel a little prick! 😄👩‍⚕️💉

Corrected and have given myself detention.

And you would have a starring role 😄 😉

Was that Shaun's boat that he has a thread about? Shame to see no tumblehome.

In theory we only need it signing off, it has been fitted and tested. But we are really struggling to get anyone to do this - and your information explains why. Happy to take it off the wall if it means we can get things done correctly though.

I feared that might be the case and thank you for clarifying that. In order to make it easier to get it commissioned would we be better taking it off the wall?

Apologies that this is not boat-related. Is there a gas-safe engineer from the Lincoln area on here who would be available to commission a domestic gas boiler? It is already on the wall. It was unused and stored from a previous building project and we are now using it in my daughter's house.

We were saying just the same. For instance we never knew about the 'boat graveyard' with the post-war concrete working boats. Cruised that stretch many times without a clue.
