Just a tip, always check coolant in the header tank ( and engine oil ) before starting your engine. Air locks are not conducive to good cooling. Best wishes over Christmas to you both 👍

Dude. I said hi a month or so ago when I went past you & asked if your stove was working. Less is more. There more you put in the higher the maintenance time & it will drive you nuts. Boats are not like homes. Great work anyhow.

Kudos to you Joe for cutting a straight line with a circular saw !!!! I didn't notice if it was battery or electric!! Who cares, You and Danni are doing a fantastic job, I'm 68 yrs old and I wish I was right there along side helping!!!!!

Hi guys doing a great job and big pat on the back for having a go at it all. Couple of quick tips with HEP2O either use the HEP2O spray when pushing together or quick spit or lick. Otherwise you are pushing in against a dry rubber o-ring and they can fail. Also keep saying to yourself put in an insert, put in an insert, put in an insert. It is easy to get excited and forget. I have and it is a pain. Second one is HEP20 do manifolds mainly for use with Central Heating but where you are thinking about multiple tee joints use a manifold instead reduces number of connections. Use the HEP2O stop taps as they are full bore but only quarter of a turn to turn off great if you have to do any repairs. Also use one of the HEP2O ball valves at first from tank and another after the filter so you can just switch off that length to repair pumps, accumulators filters etc, also put small in line filter before pump. Going back a video or two the socket and 12v outlet in the bulkhead you ran 12v and 240v through the same hole. You shouldn’t do this and the 12v needs to be in conduit if you are running adjacent to 240v ac voltage. Worth buying yourself a copy of the ISO regs for small craft or borrowing a copy. ISO 10133 for DC and 13297 for AC.

Thanks Pete, didn’t know about the manifolds that may work better like said less joins! We’ve got a valve straight out of the tank but forgot one after the pump, can fit one in after the accumulator without much hassle! Thanks for the tips!

New to channel I like what I have seen so far. Human moisture will cause mold and water under your mattress. To help eleviate this it's best to have slats crossing the bed to allow moisture to escape. Keep safe warm dry and virus free.

I suggest you put the water filter /strainer before the pump to protect the pump impellor....plus less likelyhood to leak at lower pressure

@DanniandJoe

2 жыл бұрын

So the pump came with its own filter, I would install the other filter in between the pump and water tank but space constraints anywhere closer to the tank make it unfeasible - I’d imagine it harder to prime whenever you run out of water also. Fingers crossed on the leaks though!

Think the name you were looking for is spindle molder. The oak is going to look beautiful around the fireplace. Thanks for the video

Regarding the gaps in your floorboards, what do you think about cork strips. You could buy cork tiles and cut the strips with a Stanley knife to the required gaps as, I’m sure they will differ slightly. Also, they will cushion any swelling of the boards and are easy to clean. Might be a rubbish idea, just thought I’d suggest it.
