it's a bad day for prey it's on your
birthday
[Music]
we've got a leak bath bilge pumps work
so that's some good news
yep
definitely got a leak somewhere
the water was fresh not salt so we
followed the fresh water pipes back
through the boat and used cameras to get
into the dipping spaces so Beverly's
doing contortion what I want one of the
many jobs that you have to be able to do
on a boat is can be in contortionist so
while she's doing that I i am sorting
out all our tins which are in the bilges
because of course they have got wet
exactly why you take the labels off I
don't know why but I must have forgotten
to take the paper off but you can't
really tell obviously in the video but I
can tell that that is quite damp and
it's one of the reasons that you just
you have to remove all paper plus of
course insects like to live in this area
now we are in a cold area but one day we
can always dream the only problem with
electrical bilge pumps and manual bilge
pumps is it doesn't get all the water
out we've had the electrical build pump
running and we still got water in the
build because it just never gets down
low enough so this is where you need a
good dingy pump that really helps and
comes to your rescue
and after that it sponges some good news
found the drip what's gone into the
hot-water tank
yeah see look yeah so right so well good
these fix that night
yeah this is our drip and then Bevers
gonna put the pump on
and you can see there it's increased the
drip
so our initial solution which was to
turn the pump off does have some effect
but it doesn't stop the drift all
together
well while cleaning out the villages I
thought I'd give up my cue bolts a good
polishing yeah the ball nice and shiny
well I think we've sorted the lake
hopefully soon
at least our builds problem to not get
out of hand like this pair unfortunate
so then Gator what's happening today
well again and this time we've been
buying some using my kitchen knife again
aren't you that's my second knife it's
bubble wrap we've bought bubble wrap
shiny star
hey fixings there's a project coming up
I can tell I know but that's what we're
gonna do project time so we got another
one that's has to be delivered to the
marina care of saltiness lovely this one
is nothing to do this to you about
fittings yes I am
no we have Lupton buying tons of ct1 i
suspect it's just a convenient box we
have in here from a bindle solar they
are getting no benefit of this in fact
well they are getting a benefit we've
had in the fortune yeah see they haven't
paid us anything we've paid them
understand foresee screamer we got this
slot this is chipper TV one in there
that's me isn't it you find out we've
also purchased it at the brine box
alright little brine box contains a
little plastic box it's to cable glands
so okay fair enough
so fed of a disappointment there sorry
we have a victim a smart solar
controller i think you can see where
this one's going cat yeah yeah a breaker
switch which we can start on the mother
ship to disable the aliens when they
come I think their connectors a piece of
mild steel and a long table with some
and of course we need something to
connect up to this fortunately however I
can magic it I defender by checking the
old fingers it's very flexible I know
but it says do not bend on the thing
it'll see why they don't things wobble
around like you wouldn't believe
wait yeah reason we got flexible it's
more to do with the fact that we need to
woman handle these we don't know quite
height and at least the second lift yeah
we can lift this very much so I'm just
gonna turn it out of the light I want to
generate in the book these just yet
so we've two of those and it's wider
than I thought
half a meter is supposed to be my stop
it is well it's what have to do as it is
I'm getting yet all right
a ferrule number of nicest shiny steel
things yeah so I've got 12 tee pieces to
60 degree deck fittings this goes on the
end of the pipe and two of them will be
going on to another pipe so go on that
whereas the other two going on to this
deck fitting here so we've got four of
these but two of those and to the deck
fittings we've got two 60 degree angles
for a pipe I've got four corners closest
out that gum recording
and 12 t pieces so that is what I have
bought and on top of that I have got
lots of pipe yes the pipe is currently
in disguise at the minute but we'll get
right into it later
[Laughter]
these are our seamless pipes that we've
ordered up they're all still bundled up
together but we've either under ordered
or they have under sent because the wall
meter sections which is this stuff as
you can see we've got two of them in
here we were expecting five we think so
some things are drift somewhere and gain
risk enough to check when you're doing
an order it's very important to check
that you've got everything because
Beverly and I had ordered five one meter
lengths but we've only received two so
I've just been on to see screw and
they're going to be sending me the
remaining three one meter lengths but it
will be going in the order in the
dispatch tomorrow so we won't be getting
it until at the end of the weekend so
but we can still construct quite a lot
of the art without the extra bits they
were for reinforcements on the sides so
we can connect do that so that's what
we're going to do today but it is very
important to check your orders because
you know things go astray
[Music]
well that's a cradle in operation and
it's some fun practice so terrain now
you know it's getting us to be able to
sort everything out for its taking the
strain and we're not so I think that's
brilliant
that's cradle is great
we popped owns the local DIY store to
buy some more stuff
alright gainers so what is this stuff
from why are we dealing with it we need
something that we can lift quite easily
we also want something and then the only
other thing that we need to think about
is we need some kind of spacer
but we'll be able to meet the spaces
should be a good job the fact that the
puddle did not fit the car was easily
fixed we love portable parcels so now
that we have the starting of our framing
place what we're doing now is we have a
brace which is going to go in here
unless you can see
Beverly's getting that sorted so and
she's haven't used the angle grinder
because the steel is actually much
tougher than our blades are it went
through the blades on the always gone
through the battery already okay yeah I
thought so anyway I'll go and get you
another battery
you
