Yes - actually VERY little maintenance or upkeep on any of the canals done by that taxing agency! Overgrown weeds, overhanging trees, poorly maintained locks,, lack of mooring in many areas, etc., etc. I'd suggest getting together with all users and filled a complaint. BTW, does the CRT pay people out of your fees?
Hi just looked at my costs and ours is a staggering £327.95 a month. And you just saved me some money as we were paying for river and canal license. But we live on a river. Thanks
I`m fortunate and paid my mortgage off 9 years ago( it`s a lovely feeling knowing you own your home) but the rent on these places alone is £790 a month for a self contained 1 bed flat near the sea so your costs are ace. Especially as your home is also detached with countryside views if you wish it. I`m also a truck driver and it made me laugh whe n you said about people foraging their wood as I recently saw a bloke cutting off branches on the Q.T. in a lay-by to heat his home(gotta do what you gotta do). Would it pay you guys to get a lilo or little Dingy to put your bags of shopping in during the floods???
Good on you guys, the life/security/happiness ratio is so important to a positive relationship with mental health. So cool you had a thought so appealing that you turned it into your reality for better &worse and you make it work cause yas love it & yas killin it btw 🤙🇦🇺
how about the boat maintenance costs split by month, e.g. engine and other servicing, replacement batteries, painting, blacking, annual safety certificate etc.?
❤😂Hello lovely Guys been waiting for your lovely weekly blogs Happy New year too you both and lovely chatey you help me chilled out on a cold winters evening from portsmouth watching with a lovely cuppa love N1 fan jenny Jenny ❤🎉😊
So this is more to you guys in general, rather than this video specifically. I'm an Industrial Design student (AKA Product Design) at the University of Houston in the US and have followed you guys for a while. For a college project I'm designing a product for mobile living (So narrowboats, van life people, RVs, etc) and was curious if I could talk to you guys and ask some questions in detail about everyday life to see if there is something I can design! Just let me know if you guys want to talk and we can figure out a way to get in better contact! ✌️
I gotta say, whod have the responcibility of a house these days. We live mobile. We have a 10 meter American caravan. We've done the big tour of New Zealand. Now just potter. An hours drive, stay put for a couple of months, move on. We're retired.
Really beats cost ofliving in house or apartment just the rent here and we live just outside of New York is more than triple your boat costs then utilities etc auto it’s a pity we don’t have as many canals as Britain l would be looking for a boat another great visit with you both as always 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Which river is it that has flooded please?? This is something I've been thinking about doing but want to be sure of all the possible dangers as I have 2 children
Wooow you guys doing great including the fact that you guys have a loan and every other cost… so technically you pay for a room in a shared house in London. My room in Seven Sisters was £800 and I would share with the owner. I is had my own shower outside my room.. Living in a boat is amazing tho. I miss that underwear heating but the costs are so low on my end.
Remember...It is very dangerous to wade through fast flood water!!! You never know what might be in your way, and there is a danger of open manholes too!! Sty safe and happy! From John
Thanks for the real numbers, totally appreciate that work. And... thanks for breaking down the costs according to what decisions you make about what you want out of your boat life. Building in that flex makes it easier to understand the decisions you make. [Side note : For yhe internet cost here Canada, its insanely high, around $175 for a phone/internet bundle, which majes it somewhat tough to add further patreon but, that can always be done. For router, we say r-ow-ter, so it doesn't get confused with r-oo-ter, like roto-rooter which is a landscaping machine to pull out plant roots (sorry for dullness)]. Just a heads-up
Very refreshing to meet with folk who understand the lack of dredging is the problem. Take you two.

Do you put money aside for when boat needs blacking and the boat safty certificate?😊

How did you get on with the Night Briquettes that you mentioned a few videos back? Are they worth the money, do they really burn for 8 hours??

Fab video guys ❤❤
Is it possible to get a loan for a canal boat with a canal boat as your address.
What make router do you have.
Thank you 👍👏🤞🙏
If you only have a river license can you still travel on the canals too, or are you restricted to rivers??
I believe that license covers all the waterways.
Which river is it that has flooded please?? This is something I've been thinking about doing but want to be sure of all the possible dangers as I have 2 children
Really been thinking of you two & Shanti on the river.

Oh my goodness those awful floods!
Great video
Can you do a day routine Form when you wake up to when you go bed please but love your video keep it up
Yes we could do a whole day in the life video beginning to end that’s a nice idea ☺️

Hi Adam, where did your shirt/jumper from? :)
I was thinking that too!😂 love it.
Explain inflation
Cheers

Sure I have just seen Adam on Brendan's vlog th-cam.com/video/65iwnI2hjAA/w-d-xo.html
+ Maintenance costs and unforseen costs breakdown & repairs
Should get a generator instead of running engine
👍❤️
