I know I'm late joining this party - time and chores are getting the better of me at the moment, but re boilers; When we bought the retirment bungalow a few years ago, it needed everything doing... I did the old "which" research and bought a Viessman (can't spell it from memory) - I bought it direct from a merchant and then arranged a gas-safe man to fit it... having already done the rads and piping myself. IT's got a stainless steel heat exchanger, long warranty and works a treat. By buying it myself and arranging the fitting seperately, all in it cost just over 1k - MUCH cheaper than any quotes I got for someone to supply and fit a boiler. Whilst I'm here, re washing machines... having used the hotpoint on land for years, I bought a hoover 1600 a++ rated on for the boat and it handles hot water being poured in perfectly. It allows me to turn off the heat on every program - thus reducing the power consumption and speeding it up too. we can do a 7kg load using the "cotton program" but by pouring 10-12 litres of hot tap water down the drawer in 59 mins rather than over 2 hours AND get the 1600 spin. Can't stop - I need to tinker with the engine as I think I must have left the bleed screw a little slack when I sericed it the other day as it keeps 'searching'... You will find a hot fill for the wash is ok, it's the hot fill (in my case) for the rinse that confused it. Be careful when you are playing with nipples - all sorts of unintended consequences can happen if you are not paying attention 🍻

When I serviced it the other day, I didn't tighten it up enough and ended up with a sulking throbbing unit and a few litres of red stuff lurking in my bilges. Wilko Nappies to the rescue and now it's tight again, all is well.

Well why don't you get one instead of just mingeing about it? You could call it NB Random Nutter. Doing my best. Viewings stopped after Saturday and offers at asking price or above only considered. Decision next week. I think you might get a quicker sale if you were prepared to consider any offer, even one below the asking price. I can't imagine myself viewing a boat on sale at £40,000 and saying "I tell you what, I'll give you £50,000 for it".

AI isn't selling a boat.
Its a station only it doesn't have trains stopping there. Not at the moment anyway. Its possible that the line may be converted to a 2 Wheel Transport Solution at some stage in which case there will bw a high demand for puncture repairs, altering the gear linkage thing and raising or lowering bike saddles. And recharging ebike batteries. Yes the batteries will need recharging. That is definitely a business opportunity. Wind turbines and big PV systems. And nuclear power. A bit of coal. Oil. Hydro. Etc

Same rules apply when selling anything, it's only worth what someone is prepared to pay for it.

All depends where you pitch the price and how many people are interested + method of sale. Sometimes you get it right sometimes not.

Yes it does, but saying you will only accept offers at or above the asking price isn't likely to lead to a sale, most prospective buyers will be looking at houses priced slightly above their budget and looking to the vendor to move downward on price. Estate agents will soon lose interest in marketing a property which is not priced to sell.

Time for me to shut up though - at least one of the persons interested have/are water liveaboards.

Thank you everyone. Last viewings now completed, expect share value of hoover bags and furniture polish to plummet as a result....

Good news! The Italian Polish Chinese washing machine now has a shiny new element fitted and is firing on all cylinders and hotting the water up nicely. It is on notice though. One more >£20 component fails and it's to the great washing machine scrapyard in the sky with it. Fingers crossed that isn't before there's enough in the fighting fund to replace it with a Samsung or Miele machine 😵😵😵🔨🔨🔨🔨👍👍👍🍻 Bad news The Italian Polish Chinese piece of shit is exhibiting signs of drum bearing failure. It's not goosed yet, the fucking thing is not having another penny spent on it. It will die a noisy ignominious death and then get turned into baked bean tins. At the moment the fighting fund is being spent productively on boat bits. If it shits itself before there is enough in the pot for a decent machine I'm going down the £150 Candy route and binning the twat the moment it plays up. Arse!
