Lithium is not a finite resource it can and is got from sea water hence why they are used in electric cars.

Can I ask your opinion on the build quality of your boat from Aintree? was it a good experience? Anything to look out for ?
@narrowboatmoonshine 7 ай бұрын
Hi, generally positive. There were some issues though but all were sorted. We had tiller issues and needed a new tiller arm, they left a plug out of the diesel tank which flooded engine bay with diesel ( that was a rough day) had some paint problems on one of the gunwals. Delivery dates will be off by some margin. There will be issues with any new boat, no matter on fitment level. Its how they react to them, and they did fairly promptly. But the diesel and the tiller arm really shouldnt have happened.

I could do the woodwork no problem but the rest is over my head. I love watching your channel. Can’t wait to see the finish.

The Shropshire Union canals were owned by the London and North Western Railway from 1846 onwards. The LNWR became Britains most profitable company during the golden years of the Railways. Unlike several other Railway Companies - such as the Great Western - which ran down the canals they bought, the LNWR continued to invest in the Shropshire Union. They used the canals as feeders for rail freight and to compete with other railway companies. That investment included the installation of the LNWR telegraph systems in the 1860's and 1870's, which explains the marooned telegraph pole in the double arched bridge. After Railway grouping in the 1920's, the LNWR became part of the LMS, which had no real interest in the canal. That lack of interest led to the closure of the Newport Branch and the Montgomery canal.

@@narrowboatmoonshine No Martin - I haven't but I am guessing the principal is the same. You have already spotted the potential for water issues if you run the wetwall down behind the shower tray so I think that you are on the right track. Board down to the shower and then sealed. The idea of the 3-4mm gap I mentioned was just to make sure that the seal wasn't broken over time as the shower tray in "pulled down" when people are in it. Good Luck - its all looking very neat.
