They really did just rip out all the original knees and put in box steel in their places, eh 🫤

Now that's how you live on a wide beam!

Virtue signalling? I'm not sure you know what that means? My insurance, as most I would think, does not cover any items that cost over £200. No one is making you pay anything. No one is expecting you to pay anything. You're the one taking offence at the idea of kindness That's as far as I'm willing to take an online arguement. By the way I've heard you're actually much more pleasant in real life 🤣

Insurance doesn't really cover possessions does it. Imagine having to rebuy all that. It adds up extremely quickly. So even if the boat is insured, a gofundme would help. But I suppose that doesn't paint the picture that the forum is superior to those involved in this personal tragedy.

I wonder where they got that data. Or whether they made it up to paint a picture. Im at 1.5 years! I doubled down and bought a second boat 😁

I used a personal loan from my bank. Didn't have to state what I was using it for beyond "large purchase". It's not secured against anything so it doesn't really matter. I think it's better to use your main bank for these type of loans as they have much more data on you, so will offer more/better interest. When I swapped banks I could see the amount that the old bank would offer me go down.

I've been shouted at for daring to enter a 2000 yard, two way tunnel at the same time as another boat. "What if you were a widebeam!!!" I was in fact, not a widebeam. As many grumpy idiots as the rest of the world🤣

Happy boxing day!

Merry Christmas lol

The glass on my squirrel is permanently black, it does not burn off. Perhaps because I run it cool a lot and it has built up a thick surface.

Interesting. Also thanks for the insight. What does the setup look like for preheated air?

That makes a lot of sense! Thank you for your insight.

What's the physics behind wood liking to burn with air from the top? I've never really understood it. From the bottom should work like a rocket stove - air drawn in from the bottom, heated and rising up the flue. This movement causes pressure which sucks in more air, which burns better which increases the pressure. You control this by physically limiting the air intake. What's the process that happens that means wood burns better not this way but from air above?

I'd suggest a gramme of soma
