He did a great job of installing the stove and it looks really smart

Good to see you're all nice and toastie in this horrible weather. Hopefully the weather will improve soon and we can see a bit more cruising and through the hedge adventuring.

Munchy and Alice did an excellent job supervising the insulation of beautiful Mable. With their keen eye to detail they carefully inspected the emptied cabinets, thoroughly checked over every tool and equipment entering Lazy Days, closely monitored each step of the installation, finally finishing their job as everything was cleaned and sorted out in their living space. I’ll suer their favorite job was determining the very best spot to bask in her radiant heat.

Their shelf up high is two degrees hotter than anywhere on the boat. I'm so happy about that, and happy that the sofa is not the hottest spot on the boat lol

The excitement in Cath's voice at the start of the video made my day. Thank you ladies.

Interesting vlog, it is pleasing to see a tradesman that goes the extra mile, I love how you call vacuming Hovering, it makes me think of all the British shows I watch.

When you said it was a Refleks stove, I thought you might name it Duran. And now through my own fault, I cannot get that tune out of my head! Ahh!

They could have called it Mads, the other famous Refleks lives on a boat called Obilex over at Sail Life. ;-)

Mabel the diesel heater sits proudly on her hearth, shiny, warm and slender, it is the winter beater, Crunchie and Witches Familiar lay happily at the berth, cosy, warm and contented and connected with their earth. And when the married duo, require some extra heat, they turn up Mabels dials, and toast their little feet. Hear endeth this little ditty, to mark the stove install, and wish them happy days ahead, and to say, that's all !!! 😂👍

Hey, that is something which could be useful at times at model train club!

Great video - we had a 60ft trawler with a bigger version of this stove for 18 years and it never missed a beat (got regular service). All the other local boats had coal and were so jealous of our stove - the timbers were always warm and bone dry. Excellent choice (summer all year round lol). 😊

Wow, what a cold and rainy pattern UK has experienced all while trying to be cozy. I hope rain and flooding have not been in your path and I wish you much comfort. Glad to see you. Your heating unit is lovely. Hope Spring is on the wsy.

That brought back memories of the lighting process when I used a similar stove on my share boat . Ours look liked the old multi fuel stove . The explanation was as clear as mud but I eventually got the hang of it. It certainly gave off great heat. Looks lovely . Enjoy your cosy heater xxxx

Got love watching things being built...

Looks good and keeps you both warm

I love those tiles. The whole fireplace looks so nice.

Hi, ladies, thanks for another episode. Much fun following your adventures, looking forward to the next Through the Hedge.

that would keep the boat nice and warm in the winter

Good job ladies with thanks to Paul. Now that that’s finally done, it’s on to the next project!

A charming little fire...

looks great

Oh, congratulations it looks beautiful. You have done an amazing job.

Great to see the heater in and working.Also good to see you both well again with or without knickers " the cheeky devel" LOL

If you are warm and happy, then I am happy for you with the new stove. However, I should point out that you will miss the cleaning of the coal stove glass, and the exercise of carrying the heavy bags of coal down muddy towpaths, and the thrill of having black fingers and much of the mess of ashes. If you can live without all that, then you did alright.

Brilliant - thank you - have been eagerly anticipating this installation and so pleased to see it's the Refleks heater. Good luck - hope your pleasure continues. May I suggest that the good, old fashioned 'turkey baster' will help with the initial meths squirt. Measure the amount needed (as recommended) mark the baster tube and from there on it's a much easier and cleaner method for you.

to be honest Steve, I was thinking about you with the stove. You would love it. You can position a fan to assist with the convection and use a very little amount of diesel. It's awesome.

It looks very smart and I'm glad you're pleased with it. Maybe good timing with changes to wood and coal burning just announced. Have to say the shape reminds me of the Aladdin Paraffin heater we had at home back in the 50's. Keep it shiny!

Even has room for a matching tea kettle on top👌
