    Thats the second defective hot water tank I have seen this week @The Nomadic Crobot channel there's blew up and swelled with pressure, glad you got yours before the other pipes etc were attached, 😎👌💖💖

      Yes George it could of been a lot worse. Yes we watched Nomadic Crobot unfortunately they put a standered house cylinder in their boat which you cant use on that time of system and blew the bottom out. thanks for watching👍

      Thanks Stephen. I've started chewing on a pencil to stop it popping out ! It's the speeded up footage that everyone seems to like specially the women viewers 😂😂😂.

      Yes Simone, Cant beat an extra 2 inches hahaha. I now don't smash into the wall when i slide out of bed. lol I better rephrase that as you might think Ady is saying it about the extra 2 inches. I should say much better for me with a levelish floor so i don't keep walking into the wall hahaha.

    Nice job on the calorifier plumbing. I like the mixer thermostat as my one did not have that so water was really hot. Will definitely fit one when its reinstalled along with a expansion tank. Boats looking great top dollar fit out.

    Great Video Again Guys , Look on the bright side , The leaky cylinder was better now than if was just holding water and started leaking later , you would only have known with dirty hot tap water and could have made you ill . Regards Dave

    You were lucky with the hot water tank. If that had been a replacement tank and you had the engine in with coolant it could have been bad. I presume the engine and diesel water heater both have anti freeze in their systems. That leak would have resulted in an antifreeze shower.

    • @makinganarrowboatwithnannyandg

      Yes David very lucky. First thing Ady said when it happened was that we would of been none the wiser until it was too late.

    Great idea of how you levelled the boat out. I need to get mine sorted. I feel a trip to Machine Mart coming on!
    Re your water leak escapades, I was going to say was the first fitting of the calorifier just a dry-run, but that wouldn’t be quite right! 😉

    Why did I think 'you'll never lift the boat with that little bottle jack' ? but then saw it had 32Ton written on the side of it. Nice one. Take care.

    • @makinganarrowboatwithnannyandg

      Cheers George. I did think the same when I first saw the jacks. Pretty impressive bit of kit though.

    You're getting there, well done. How fortunate that you filled the cylinder up before the engine or boiler pipes were connected or you wouldn't have known about that leak. Why not connect the hot water tank drain up to the sink waste tank/pipe? I've connected my bungalow one to the drains, and it certainly makes life a lot easier.

    • @vonasi2
      @vonasi2 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      If he'd connected that faulty coil up to the central heating circuit he would have known about the leak as they are normally a vented system and so the reservoir would have started over flowing. The engine cooling circuit might have been a different matter though as that is a pressurised circuit with a pressure cap on the reservoir. On a boat the sink drains go overboard high up the side of the boat so the drain water from the calorifier would have to run uphill which is not a problem you have in a bungalow!

      @tonycamplin8607 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@vonasi2 thanks for the information, didn't think that that tank was connected to the central heating system, Maybe he could drain to the foule water tank via a hose that could be removed when it wasn't wanted. Anyway he was lucky to have discovered the leak before he'd done any more work.

    • @makinganarrowboatwithnannyandg
      @makinganarrowboatwithnannyandg  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes really lucky it could of turned quite nasty and we wouldn't of known until it was too late. Once we get the sink we can then decide where would be best to have the drain. Thanks for watching Tony👍

    better to have the problems now than later when all the boat is finished and water is leaking everywhere that would not be good she is coming on a treat they use those jacks to repair punctures on the trucks I drive you need something to lift 44 tons they do a great job what's next guys. ?

      @makinganarrowboatwithnannyandg  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      We are going to use the sand like we did in the engine bay we think. If not beads. All that will be done maybe early spring once we have our solar put on so we can mask it out in the right places, If we get a spell of good weather again this year we might do the gunwales .

      Think us British do a big mix up of metric and imperial. Seems all boat stuff is in imperial for some reason so we've slipped into using that more. We are a strange country hahaha
