  1. Perhaps the current owners lease that came with the house was for less than 99 years.
  2. Seems a strange thing to say that you dont believe in the existance of diesel bug.
  3. Not my kinda thing but if it happens behind closed curtains and you are happy then carry on with the whip.
  4. Nothing has escaped staycation prices, prices of tents, vans, camper vans, caravans, motorhomes and boats have all been effected.
  5. Does giving a little colour mean adding food dye and will this serve 2 or 4 people Ian.
  6. If you are using Brooms mostly for your diesel then you are passing Swancraft where I believe it is cheaper Ian.
  7. He is an experianced boat painter so wouldnt use Nitromors nor would he simply flatten old paint and apply new paint but whatever this top layer is it aint playing ball with his normal paint remover and scraper plus the clock is ticking so any ideas are much appreciated guys n gals.
  8. and will take forever to remove the existing deck paint but thanks.
  9. You dont mean this do you. https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwiEjq6FmZPzAhVvgFAGHcBPDCEYABAFGgJkZw&ae=2&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESQOD2A9LlRzTTic9emAw49FX5zVqC1hieDukh6oZ4VeYXxoX7-KQCTrGC5Wvb6K9JvYV2kDbNmqlIoHKffuOyLOI&sig=AOD64_1GkUF2RcJMOMGBmNe9lmqlDnsajA&ctype=5&q=&ved=2ahUKEwiTwKaFmZPzAhXVPsAKHedfDRwQ9aACegQIARB3&adurl= No of course you didnt.
  10. I hear that this new HGV driving test no longer includes reversing which talking to drivers and ex drivers is laughable. Might now be a good time to start a business repairing cabs and trailers?
  11. Hi wise ones, I have a friend down south who is having a hard time removing stubborn deck paint on a grp deck, now I am not sure what he has tried (and he has done it before) so welcome any suggestions what so ever. Thanks in advance.
  12. Slightly off track. On a canal boat it is best not to place it up front in a corner but futher back in the room for a more equal spread of the heat. it must be placed on an approved fireproof surface such as certain tiles surrounded by something to stop half burnt logs rolling out and along the floor when the door is opened. So you need around a three and a half foot square area. The walls around the stove must be covered in fireproof material (Tiles) up to the height of the stove, so say around 4ft high and the flue must be double lined (A tube within an outer tube). Not really A diy job anymore and it must be signed off as safe.
  13. Join the owners club for ideas and not all moorings allow solid fuel burners to be used so consider that, do you have moorings sorted.
  14. Didnt the OP say No to the wood burner in the opening post. Ventilation is key as are the water/dampness absobing cyrstals. There is a main service agent in Norwich for Webasto & Eberspacher but as said they are expensive for service or repairs. There are cheaper options out there which would suit a Hampton Safari.
  15. The Wallas Spartan heaters have a strong reputation within marine enviroments and a price tag to match, not that I know anybody with one. Good luck with your new boat and welcome to the forum. &
  16. I know of one poor couple who live four hours away who waited around for days on their boat for a company to visit when they could of been out on the waters instead. As far as I know the company still havent attended despite promises. I`m sorry Max and mods but I feel that we should be able to say who these companies are as a warning to others.
  17. Brundall seems to be full of dead zones according to the local website where people living in the same street on the same network get mixed results including no signal so my conclusion is that the hardware plays a big part. Smartly have just released a no contact SIM with unlimited data but I haven't looked at the small print yet.
  18. Agree about O2 and EE, try Smarty or 3
  19. Some say O2 is rubbish in Brundall whilst others disagree and that is those living in houses at the top of the hill! 3 sell a 24gb sim for £45 which works well and fast for the laptop and Smarty (part of 3 network) have just launched a cheaper deal for existing customers.
  20. and to NBN Leon, Where is your home moorings (it can make a difference) and which network(s) are you currently using.
