That's why I suggested the extra insulation or larger calorifier. One of the issues that arises is that people want to have showers in the morning. I don't quite understand this but it is apparently the case. A properly insulated and well sized calorifier will retain the heat overnight no problem specially in the boating season months. Also one of the ideas around having a boat is that you move it about now and then which in these slightly primitive times involves a diesel engine running quite often for several hours in a day, with one of the effects being heat rejection which can be captured by using a calorifier. ... and that's why I have my shower when I get there.... .. by which time there is plenty of hot water and dirty clothes/smelly body after running up and down those ladders/working paddles and gates - and any incipient whiffiness if they catch you in the early morning only helps keep the "normal/good" people at a safe distance. I was watching a film about that sort of thing

Setting aside the fascinating Alde boiler/ solar panels etc etc... Today has been rather challenging.... son and daughter in law have employed a Eastern European(cannot remember where from) to paint the outside down stairs.... the bloke came am..pm he comes back with wife(to assist) and son(4ish).... I took refuge at the bottom of the garden as chaos ran amok... grand daughter and the lad only gelled for maybe an hour then it got noisy.. the wasps for some reason criss crossed at ground level..son plus wifey got stung then the flying ants erupted... I stayed put at bottom of garden..... suggestions that I could maybe monitor the children I ignored...... Not mine..no way... I've survived..took a lot of vino.. oh yes..down in my corner of the garden there was none.... Did you manage to avoid the wasps and the flying ants ? Wasp stings are nasty.

If you put a Paloma on board and it only had one outlet ie the shower it does not need to have a flue on it for the BS scheme.

I was out there this morning thinking I need a new bowsaw as I attacked a massive branch that I'd dragged for miles believing it to be Ash - turns out it was willow when I got stuck into it.
Then, perhaps I should be looking for a replacement starter motor for an old Eberspacher? Or, with the pipework and rads all in situ, would it make more sense to go for some kind of alternative ch?

Jack bowsaw blades are good. The old ones not the new ones. The brand was taken over by am American company who now do rubbish stuff using the old name.
I bought a load of the real ones on eBay. £3 each. 36 inch blades but one can shorten them by heating to red heat allowing to cool then drilling hole in right place then whip the excess off with the angel grinder.
Sandvik,Bahco (BA Hjorth who took over Sandvik), Edsbyns Industri AB (EIA) if you can find them. There are other really good ones but also some quite bad ones. One of the best ones I ever had was the Bushman brand which was EIA.
Also two different types with the dry wood type with regular teeth and the green wood type with irregular teeth arrangement.
I really like a nice quality bow saw with a clean blade which is why I have seven different bowsaws 24", 30" and 36" and approximately 45 spare blades.
Ash is superficially similar to willow so I can see why you made that mistake.
I have several Sandvik 42" blades but have yet to acquire the holy grail of swede saws which is the 42 inch frame.
Would very much like to meet one of these.

Say no to bowsaws. Buy a chainsaw. Much more effic. Also scares the shit out of people.

First problem was that there were more than tree of us the second was that the Stihl 024 saw went through a larch limb almost as fast as it would go through a human limb so I decided against it. Also very very antisocial and rude. I saw a bloke cutting a pallet up with a chainsaw once and felt sorry for him.

But yes, they are antisocial. However this is a good thing if you don't want to talk to anyone.
