So this is where everyone is. I only ever used the technical side of the forum in 'the other place', so am not really aware of what has been going on. Except that I have noted a decrease in friendly helpful approach of late. Here seems nicer...
Liveaboard for last 3 years, 43' trad stern narrowboat. Recently taken on a 50'x10' Dutch Barge project, along with beautiful river mooring. Has been out of the water this summer, 2/3rds of bottom replated in 5mm steel, new epoxy paint job up to the gunwales. Now it is back on our mooring, breasted up to the narrowboat, and I am prepping the (very rusty) bilges before laying a floor. Rest of interior is sprayfoamed and has a variety of battoning and lining, but that's it. No electrics or plumbing yet... Doing all work myself, so will be here asking about all sorts!
Anyway, happy new year to all.
