Many thanks for the advice. Lots of the things you mentioned I hadn't even thought of. <BR/><BR/>Lisa is a locking expert, (a little complaining but an expert nonetheless) and we'll be able to get up in a day by ourselves if it is open for a full day anytime soon.Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058329208182560961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3772807458489546340.post-6739575433230543832008-01-04T12:17:00.000+00:002008-01-04T12:17:00.000+00:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589358384320752821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3772807458489546340.post-41378136954488936672008-01-04T11:44:00.000+00:002008-01-04T11:44:00.000+00:00And don't forget reels of masking or gaffer tape, ...And don't forget reels of masking or gaffer tape, boat builders leave gaps the size of Cheddar Gorge between double doors. And you'll want to shove old socks up the roof vents (not when you've got the gas burning) and take rugs to walk on, the floor will be freezing. <BR/>We find large yoghurt pots make excellent roof vent plugs for the bits of boat we're not occupying. I can hear howls of protests even now from those cold blooded boaters.<BR/>I'm not saying a thing about door vents.<BR/><BR/>If you want a hand from Tardebigge up round Brum then put out a call for Geoff (or Jeff) Anderson. He was an angel when we dashed from Pinders Yard to Warwick in one day. An amazing bundle of muscle and stamina, if you can find him. I'll try to look out his number for you or you could look on our blog of December/Jan 2005/06 when Blog.co.uk get their site working again. <BR/>Andrew Denny on Granny Buttons speaks highly of him too. <BR/>He needs cake and tea. <BR/><BR/>We know just how you must be feeling cos we picked our boat up from Hanbury Wharf and after spending our last few quid at Ed's (floating chandlery) we only had the Christmas window to get to Braunston. <BR/><BR/>Like to say we'll come over and share locks with you but it's just too cosy over here on the Harbro' Arm.<BR/><BR/>MoMohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589358384320752821noreply@blogger.com
