this is our back transom and what

Beverly has done is she has removed our

Epis backer whatever you do keep

standing up don't sit down err I won't

be able to see you they believe that

very thing so hopefully by insulating

them will keep the heat for where we

wants which is in their boat let's do

that last but without the amateur

dramatics okay

[Music]

just down at the bottom here this is all

caused by condensation mainly and it

just runs down the side and just

collects at the bottom

so what Bev and I are doing is we're

going to be putting insulation all along

the side that will improve decrease the

amount of condensation we have but we

have decided that we're going to leave

this bit here free so any water can

still run down and it will just have to

be a job that we do every now and then

is remove all our stuff from in the

beber and clean up why would you got big

package

[Music]

it's uh

closed cell foam silver sticky back

plastic somewhere in there

Bev's undoing the fuel that goes into

the ever soccer because there is the

tiniest filter which will show you in a

bit and it gets bummed up quite quickly

Bev warned me that she said you can't

film this there's no space I think she's

right there is no space it's awkward

it's difficult and you just have to get

into all positions but that's what

living on a boat is like so this is the

other equipment she's got she's got some

cotton boots our diesel inspection box

this is so that when we having to change

the diesel we can this basically this we

put diesel in this and then she's got a

fuel cleaner here this tiny little thing

is actually the field fuel filter isn't

it Bev yes hoping that this is the issue

because basically the ever smoke is not

working again yeah so we're just hoping

because this is such a tiny little

filter and we filled up the diesel tank

we other day.i hoping that this is the

issue

ah this is our back transom and what

Beverley has done is she has removed Oh

Epis Packer because it's time for its

service

the Airbus Packer was blowing out lots

and lots of white smoke which apparently

is either the glow poke the filter or

what was the other thing bad what's the

other thing that can go wrong with it

the filter the uh-oh the atomizer yeah

so it can either be the atomizer the

filter or the glow plug

so what Bev's done is she's removed it

and she's got nappy are just underneath

it just so that if there's any leaks the

nappy will get it and she had to work in

this wonderful space are back transom to

get it removed and now she's off to

Manchester to take it to the service

people

if you don't like this sort of game I

would advise you not to buy a boat

because both projects are just like this

game everything has to be moved around

to get things done and when you're

finished I've got to put everything back

it's Saturday morning aboard salty nuts

and that means carry on with about

projects this is what used to be our

rear cabin and it's nice stuffed with

things from the birth the rest of the

boat doesn't look too bad til you start

looking down in the floor and you find

things like boom you find things like

boom tents diesel plans sewing machines

meanwhile up forward crew are

supervising oh what's that

broom is good at supervising as long as

she doesn't have to get her little feet

wet mom he's in is just wind early

because this is a mixture of vinegar and

water so that I can just give it quick

clean and that will remove any deposits

on the side of the hole so that I can

use the sticky back plastic later so the

main advantage of that is it removes

grease and oils which stop the sticky

stuff from sticking yep we don't want

any grease no preparations everything

yeah always scary when you cut the first

slice why what's wrong

we should really be using a Stanley

blade but we've lost it somewhere on the

boat so burns kitchen knives are coming

out again probably Bev sadly so yeah we

will buy a Stanley blade don't we have

those the Stanley bids what we don't

have is a knife body to put them in okay

[Music]

this is our electrical cupboard and I

don't know if you can see down there but

it's actually got some water in again

from condensation but in this case we've

got some electrical components in it so

not a good idea that'll certainly cause

a problem if I actually use that without

drying it first so this is the space

that I I'm gonna be lagging in a minute

because Beverly's getting on with her

job aren't you Beth

yes she's getting on with her job and we

really just cannot get two people in

there at the same time yeah it's roomy

but it's not that roomy so while that's

doing that I'm gonna do the small

electrical cupboard well the Everest

bikers back from its service so

hopefully now I can get it installed and

we'll be um nice smoke and warm again

without having to use the electric

heater which is fine but it uses a lot

of electric

currently it's roaring away in turbo

puss mood as its trying to keep the boat

Lu hey but the year this insulation

today which is for the ever spoke of

pipes because the moment our pipes are

in the transom and that means that we're

heating up a space we don't want to heat

up we want it in the boat so as you can

see

Beverly's just put one of the

installations on and now she's going to

put another one up there from the ever

spark which is just here somewhere

anyway yeah that's the other spark and

she's now going to cover that one we've

already done one and we have actually

got a little overlap but that will keep

that pipe nice and insulated and

hopefully we won't be heating up this

space where we don't want to eat up

nobody's living back here in the transom
