Mrsmelly will be able to give you good advice!

From one Coventry lad to another this lot may help.

Not far away, Bayton Rd., Exhall.

perhaps if you untied your house and moved it 15 yards further down the street, you may get an uninterrupted view of the cricket without that dastardly pylon and trees blocking the view....
Pedant alert, that "dastardly pylon" is actually a British Telecom distribution pole (DP) . Looks like a 9M light. (42 years a BT employee man and boy)

We find the area in the cratch useful for cleaning the dog after a walk, leaving muddy boots to dry etc.
On CF because the space beneath the cratch cover, drains via two tubes into the bilge a cratch cover is essential.
Our water tank is in the bow locker so we do not have a false floor in the cratch area.

To my mind any one who can produce work to such a degree deserves credit, whether you like the style or not.
I could not even approach the standard of the two examples here.
Constructive criticism is one thing but to dismiss out of hand is another.

Is there a paper trail of having the engine regularly serviced?

Just had a reply from my Labour Euro MP:
To quote the relevant bits

You had to dig deep for that one Ray, wasn't it back in the 1920's?
Yes, I don't look too bad for my age do I?

Probably because it was overloaded & the C of G was too high.

We did a course with these:

What a lovely site you've found - thank you.

Dominic, fantastic news. Congratulations to you both.

The mobile No on the eBay ads is different to the one on the Graphics Boat web site.
-
According to the Graphics Boat web site the boat is currently above Camp Hill Locks.

Way distant from Tain! some 493 miles by road.
In a similar manner I had my eBay account hacked a few years ago. Living in Coventry I was supposed to be selling a boat in Plymouth.
I contacted the owner, and discovered the boat had already been sold some two weeks prior to the ad appearing in my account.
I put a note on the eBay ad telling people not to bid on the boat as it was not mine to sell, whilst I sorted the mess out.
I still has people contacting me asking why I was selling a boat that was not mine!
I never did discover how my eBay account was hacked.

I just love it when people on this forum say that they don't read narrowboatworld but then go on to criticise it.
As one who occasionally makes comments about NBW I am willing to put my hand up and say I do read it.
I actually like Orph's column, but the rest........I'll leave it unsaid.

They're getting paranoid now. CRT is out "to get" one of their reporters.

As CRT are now a Trust I wonder if they are allowed to take out other forms of "contract" they weren't before?
-
This came up at the CRT meeting I went to. As Vince Moran said, CRT recovers costs from the driver's insurers - but people don't leave their details. They have now installed a CCTV camera on one bridge that gets regular strikes to gather registration numbers.

Keep up at the back there, see post 3

At the talk some of us went to at Hatton Monday, Vince Moran mentioned the costs that hit and run motorists cause to the canal bridges.
He also said that Pewsley Bridge on the K & A had been hit so many times that CRT had put up a CCTV camera to catch the culprits.
At least with this damage CRT can reclaim repair costs from the drivers insurance, assuming they were insured.
As far as calling CRT, BW, I worked for GPO / Post Office Telephones / BT my whole working career. Some 20 years after GPO ceased to exist when I called on clients / customers I still got introduced as "The man from the GPO".

Many thanks Laurence.
-
There were some (unofficial)offside 'moo'-rings which have been recently vacated in a hurry due to local authority and CaRT taking an interest. The area was left in a bit of a mess and it looks like the WRG have popped along whilst working on the two damaged bridges.
I will leave it to you.....
In these austere times, to cut capital expenditure, WRG moves to a smaller rural HQ with second hand company car.

Come to the banter on the 28th and bid for the one there!

"Look Dr Who has landed, he must be travel sick though, his TARDIS is green".

ok.so what do you plug them with.wine bottle corks? and bearing in mind i understand little about plumbing is it allright to use the imersion while plugged
Yes I use wine bottle corks, having usefully disposed of the contents of the bottle first!
Our header tank feed is fitted with the tee piece you can see on the bottom pipe. It dosen't have an isolation tap.
As you are not taking water out of the heating system I cannot see any damage happening to the pipe. Similar to running your engine in summer, it heats the water in the calorifier but does not affect the central heating coil.
-
yes ray thats the one i vid to follow.i wonder if i was to plug the hole in the header tank would it stop the system draining?
No you need to plug the inlet and out let to the Eberspacher unit as well. Ours is connected to the copper pipes to the unit by rubber hose held by Jubilee clips.
When I take the uint out I collect the coolant from the header tank in a small bowl. Yes I do spill some, but not much.
Don't forget to isolate the fuel supply as well.
Although not too clear this is the pipe work for the heating
The pipe coming downwards is from the header tank, the two horizantal are the ones going to the Eberspacher unit, towards the stern of the boat, are the ones connected by flexible hose.
The lower of the two pipes which goes across the boat is going to the calorifier, then the radiators.
ETA The original header tank was from a BL car which I thought was cheap and nasty so I bought a posh one from a classic car motor accessory firm.
Another breach...
