Following Meg's diagnosis, health is at the forefront of our minds, so we decide to tackle the one big job we have been holding off on. We replace our badly ...

last time you were with us we showed you
how to do your own fiberglassing make
showed you how to apply medical
superglue then we took you for a journey
to a fun waterhole just outside of
Townsville
whoa Ronnie hi we're at it again this is
one of those nasty nasty jobs we'd have
been putting off for a long time because
oh it's just gross and difficult
we now because we are very mindful of
our health even more than we were before
we were just kind of ignoring it because
it's one of the hardest jobs ever we are
pulling out our old aluminium water
tanks and replacing them and the reason
we have put this off for so long is
because we have to pull up the floor in
the boat so anyway Darren's made us
start to see what's in the biggest tank
and to try and figure out how we're
gonna negotiate take a look again what
is going on here you're doing some
hammer and stuff yeah I was just having
a little inspection in a year in office
what's that that's the part that goes
into the tank oh my god that's uh that's
pretty terrible that is 20 how many
years of well it's 30 30 odd years old
that and rust what is that
it stinks it looks like Carl
well let's tank his well me this tanks
been out of service for quite some time
it but anyway oh my god
if you were wondering why as you pull
your tags apart and replace them there's
your number one reason that's disgusting
oh I'm so glad we haven't been using
this tank for the last few years but I'm
like goodness me
officially grossed out
[Music]
you
[Music]
yes you guessed it we're cutting the
floor out
what else do you do when you've got a
few months to chill oh do you I hope
this is the last big project we have
fingers crossed just thinking the other
day that there's my place on this ship
that I haven't paid but there is this
place
anyway I'm just about to have a look at
it cutting through our old
tongue-and-groove was the only way we
were going to access our tanks
these lids would be partly used later on
to close the tanks off again that was
just what was sitting on the bottom of
the tank I didn't have to scrape that up
or anything it was just just sitting me
so while Darren got on with the tanks I
attended yoga at the marina social room
there are a great bunch of your ladies
attending some of whom have become
lifelong friends
well day three
there isn't full anyone we got the floor
up we've got the tops of the tank set
and I'll just show you what's inside
well this is pretty much what was inside
of the tank there's all these little or
almost like oysters but I'd say that
some form of corrosion oh my god and
that concrete it's uh it's quite a
chalky at that break something really
easy but anyway that's what in our tanks
that we were drinking isn't it just from
that that particular era of tank this
this was in this two smaller
compartments but you know sport a bit of
oh my goodness
caught a bit of making me that's just
outrageous I want to perform it yeah
makes me feel so unwell
we've been drinking out of it yeah we're
doing all right we can still remember
your name that's the upside of it we we
did price up a plastic tank out of
curiosity we thought maybe that would
probably be a first option and I was
like gonna be best part of two thousand
bucks I
we thought oh well maybe we can do
something a little bit tricky with this
one and we're gonna glass the inside of
it and then paint it with a third grade
paint and hopefully that'll that will
fix you a little problem up that'll
reduce all of that people welcome to
what's inside your water tank it's just
gross okay I have no words for how foul
that is and how sick that makes me to
the stomach to look at that oh I'm
really glad we're actually doing this
project now in these two compartments
I've actually put a layer of this cloth
in there already
yep you can sort of see once you
actually paint the restaurant order it
becomes very translucent yeah and what I
did at the start of here's this ribbon
it's quite quite light and flexible for
getting in all around the corners of of
light up all around the edges and all
the corners of I've already pre light up
so you're just gonna lay the glass
straight onto the aluminium and then
build up a few layers from that yeah
pretty much okay
the night markets were down on at the
beach so we went to check out their
delicious food offerings okay time for
us to find a place to chow down
beautiful atmosphere here lots the happy
people lots of people selling them their
wares that they make
right right on the seat really nice
place to be please happy we got seconds
of nothing back at the ranch we find
Darren doing some prep work for the tank
boots okay so you may be wondering what
these little gadgets are that Darren is
injecting into the alloy of our tanks
and these clever little things are
called nut certs and basically they're
not inserts if you look at it from that
perspective so it's a little housing but
you kind of rivet in to a surface and
then screw your nut or bolt into it very
clever called a nut search handy to have
on board so these are all the little nut
sets and the lid will be bedded down and
screwed down into the nut suits look
what my clever husband has been up to
the tanks are looking bright and fresh
and you
yes I clever my honey
yeah well I'm really happy with pear the
tanks have come up with we've used this
product called Jotun tank guard
supposedly got all the green ticks it's
a it's a two pack enamel and yeah really
