Talking about throwing a "deafie" we saw you on the bridgewater charles and i shouted " hiya charles" twice !
selective hearing ? - or did you think you were being told to "slow down" and didnt look at who was calling your name ?
and no you werent going tooooo fast when we saw you....

Thanks both for replies
we will have to give it a good looking at to see if it has a thermostatic mixer and go from there, i do agree with your wife about the temp though keeping up
-
Weve got a twin coil calorifier that is making the water much to hot !
there is a red cap on the top of the calorifier and when we unscrewed it slightly it made a hissing noise as though air was escaping, does anyone know how we can turn the temp down ?
thanks , trish

Whats the best product i can use to "black" the solid fuel fire on the boat?
last boat we had i used something( ive forgot the name of) and when the fire was lit we had a boat full of choking smoke! had to scrub the fire to get rid of whatever id put on, took ages to get most of it off...

Ive used these on the bedroom door and wardrobes on the boat and they look really nice
simple and easy to put on too

Went to get one yesterday when the offer started.. got there at around 9-30 am- SOLD OUT, grr

Weve just bought some "revive power paste" (off the telly) its supposed to bring even hard baked on gunk
off pans which it doesnt!! tried it on the brass portholes on the boat ....absolutley brilliant with just a gentle rub, bought 4- 375g tubs for £13.00, should last for ages as you only need a bit, and the portholes havent been done for at least 12 months ( been to busy with other things on the boat)
no acid,non caustic and no smell as it says on the tub

We will be doing our holiday at a calm pace , i like to stop and have a look around the places we pass through (thats for liams attention!) a holiday is exactly what the name suggests,

Thanks chris, sounds a good solution to me, we will go with your idea i think ( we do like tiles the best for around the fire) Thanks stuart for your idea also, Trish

Our fireplace needs tiling, it was "just painted" when we bought the boat.
It has a back boiler so tiling is going to be a pain because of the pipes! We dont want the hassle of removing the stove if we can get round another way of either tiling or using something else
a bit different than tiles, any suggestions ?

i am absolutely made up with the portrayal of my locality in this programme indeed the programme as a whole was excellent.
well done granada and thanks.
the charity boat pride of sefton stopped and gave me and the children a ride and that is the day the kids said dad we want a boat on the canal.
the skipper on the boat in the programme sorted out my mooring ropes i.e he made the loops in the ends when the boat was launched and he is truly a gent on the cut around here.
he passed on his collection of old waterway mags to me for reading when i told him i was getting a boat,the parties of disabled people ,pensioners groups ect that he takes out always seem to be having a great time.
the place shown when the heron was taking of from the bank was our swimming baths when we were kids.
i am so glad at the way the area was shown
i hope it now encourages some boats to make the journey to eldonian village.
Dont forget to watch it next week gaggle! My eyes were scanning for any familiar faces

Tonight on itv 1 at 7-30 a new series-fred talbot explores the canals of the region
& happy new year to all , trish

About three to four years ago the bridgewater canal was frozen solid
3-4 inches depth, the boats and moorings looked "breathtaking" plenty of photos taken of the canal that year by people. probably be the same this year if the forecast is right

Timothy Spall from auf wiedersien pet owns a narrowboat as well , in london somewhere

I decided this summer I wanted to live on a boat. I've always loved boat and its a heluva lot cheaper than getting a flat. Two months later I moved onto my brand new aquisition! I surprised myself by how fairly easy it was to find a mooring and the boat itself. Granted it took a month and a half to find, but within two weeks of seeing the advert it was moored up 300 miles north of where I bought it ready for me to get aboard.
She's pretty old (built in 1972) but the surveyor was quite happy with the state of the steel and the fit out is brand new (well a year old) quite modern and exactly what I was after. It was higher quality and more suitable than boats we saw for 15-20k more.

I'm pretty chuffed AND I'm only 21.
Well done! my son whos 20 has his own narrowboat but wants a bigger one to live on, his is 30ft. Enjoy your life on your boat chris , best of luck trish

Hi, we have a twin coil calorifier as in we can heat the water by running the engine or by lighting the stove.
Obviously, we will be putting anti-freeze in the engines cooling system but how do we go about sorting the domestic water system against winter freezes?
We will be draining off some water so the tank remains half full and we will drain off the pipes to the taps.. but how do we stop the water in the calorifier freezing if it gets really cold?
If we were to run the engine what would happen as there wasnt any water to heat?
would this cause any issues?
Its our 1st winter on our new boat so any advice greatly appreciated
Trish
