Good morning sir just a word of warning the Chrome pipes pushed into the plastic speed fittings will all fly out under pressure chrome pipe will not grip them and you will flood your boat take the Chrome pipes out and rub the Chrome of the ends then reinsert them

[@makinganarrowboatwithnannyandg]

Cheers mate for that. First time i've used chrome into push-fit and i should of thought of that. Makes sense. So will change it as soon as. 👍

[@vonasi2]

Alternatively change them for copper pipe with a cosmetic stainless pipe sleeve.

You would make a good deep sea marine engineer. We would always find something in the galley to use as a tool.

[@makinganarrowboatwithnannyandg]

hahaha If it works, it works👍

[@umbertoyltp]

I like classic water taps, they seem so easy to operate when mounted at this height. Convenience is pleasure!

[@makinganarrowboatwithnannyandg]

They look lovely too👍

[@kevinmartin3859]

Proper job by a professional like the spoon spanner should get it patented enjoyed the video looking good as for the knees he done I have a replacement knee I might get but have trouble getting up see you next week

[@makinganarrowboatwithnannyandg]

Cheers Kevin. Im sure Ady's legs are made of jelly. He can work in some really tight spots👍

[@thomascoyne157]

Hopefully your all feeling a lot better now 🤭👌. A very neat and tidy job it makes all the difference when you do the job right first and I always looks better 👍👍👍👍🍀

[@makinganarrowboatwithnannyandg]

Cheers Thomas, Yes keeping everything neat and tidy makes life simpler in the future👍

[@martinworrall5888]

Very nice to see you both back on the boat hope you are feeling better. I do like your choice of radiators and very professionally fitted, I think he is a keeper haha apart from the fact he had to borrow your ratchet handle 🤣👍

[@makinganarrowboatwithnannyandg]

Cheers Martin, Yeah i think i will keep him for now 😜😜😜

[@grousesoul]

Very neat job, although I'm not sure I'd trust the speedfit to chrome pipe joints. I love the Victorian radiators and radiator valves. I saw you were asking about your engine, our panel is just inside the doors at high level so isn't open to the elements. Take care both.

[@makinganarrowboatwithnannyandg]

Cheers George, Yeah sorted the pipe now. Should have thought about it when fitting it. Common sense really but think mine has up and left me lol. Yes we were originally going to have ours inside but been having a think about putting it outside above the gas locker but wasn't sure if it would fit. Looking like we are going back to the original plan and having it inside. 👍

The Dead South - In Hell I'll Be In Good Company Thunderstruck by Steve'n'Seagulls Broken Peach - Tainted Love figured you guys might like these, each one I think are great and the bands worth digging in to hear more, all on youtube guys, take care

[@makinganarrowboatwithnannyandg]

Its 11am and we haven't lifted a finger yet. You have made us sit watching The Dead South and Broken Peachs full playlists lol. Really good. You know us too well👍

[@matthewmaddox8582]

Did you get the spoon spanner at the plumbers merchants?😂🤣😂

[@makinganarrowboatwithnannyandg]

It was actually from spoonspanner . com hahahaha .They had loads if you want one🤣. Tell them Grandad sent you and you will get some discount👍

[@davidcook380]

Really neat pipelines Adrian , You are a very methodical worker . I love the old fashioned valves would you not mind saying were you got them. cheers Dave

[@makinganarrowboatwithnannyandg]

Cheers David , Yes sorry we did mention it on the vlog but i then removed the sound and speeded the footage up and forgot to leave it in. Anyway we got the rads and fittings off the internet from a company called Best Heating. They arrived the following day after ordering and we are really pleased with the quality

[@tonycamplin8607]

I like the look of the old-fashioned radiators but are they as efficient as modern ones? I doubt it. Was going to comment about the crome to plastic pipes but I've been beaten to it.

[@makinganarrowboatwithnannyandg]

Hi Tony, These modern column radiators are supposed to be more efficient than the panel ones because they have a bigger surface area. Yes we sorted the pipe but thankyou for keeping a look out👍

[@leealibuildingtheblackswan2098]

Hi there, really love the radiators, very stylish... can I ask where they are from please?? Also what colour is your tongue & groove?? Thank you

[@makinganarrowboatwithnannyandg]

Thankyou lee ands Ali, Think the paint was called soul sister if i remember rightly. It was B&Qs valspar eggshell. The radiators are from bestheating.com in Burnley. They delivered to our Marina 👍

[@midwestconcertvideo]

Very amused seeing you use the Uri Geller spanner. Hopefully Nanny won't mind it being bent. Was the ratchet a 3/8 inch drive?

[@makinganarrowboatwithnannyandg]

Thankyou, The cutlery draw doubles up as a tool box nowadays and i'm not sure anything in there is straight anymore 😆. Yes the ratchet was 3/8 👍

[@thomascoyne157]

Why are you Nuting Olive, what’s she done !😂😂😂

[@makinganarrowboatwithnannyandg]

That a whole episode in its self 🤣🤣🤣

[@Thrayps]

Sorry to hear you have gone down with "Kung Flu",I hope you are both feeling better now.Its good that you have "the side hatch medical team" on call.😄 Interesting video,I just wondered what sort of pump you are going to use for the central heating?

[@makinganarrowboatwithnannyandg]

Cheers Simon, Yep always good to know we would be in safe hands around the boat yard in any emergency🤣🤣🤣. Not decided on our heater yet. Just starting to research whats best for us. 👍
