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
