  1. Report away, but I would imagine that most would find your original post far more so.
  2. Agreed, I was reluctant to respond but the sick nature of the post outweighed this. I've no problem with necessary pest control but definitely do with actions as of the O.P. unfortunately, there's no cure for an inherently sick mind.
  3. Needless cruelty, and nothing to boast about. Inaccessible traps can be placed with a wire to retrieve the now dead rat caught in a conventional trap.

  9. I've often wondered if an alternator designed for a lorry may be a better option as most are low revving (limited to 3,000 rpm)?

  13. You can normally pop the valve out of its housing by removing the circlip and then pressurising the system - be ready to catch it though as it comes out at some velocity! An accidental discovery..

  15. Have a look under the well deck, as most integral tanks are right in the pointy bit and there is often storage space under the deck behind it. As someone pointed out, check all other requirements are met, if not, another craft will definitely be a better alternative as multiple modifications are both expensive and a compromise.
  16. There's at least one on a narrow canal, Brinklow boat services use one.
  17. There are a few boatyards that use an oversized barge as a dry dock. With a door or stop planks at one end, the barge is sunk to allow the boat to be worked on to enter it, the door/stop planks are replaced, water pumped out and you then have a floating dry dock with a boat inside. This may be a realistic option if space allows.
  18. You may need to ask someone who specialises in historic/unusual craft. My former cargo carrying narrow boat has tanks with internal fillers and vents, and being built that way is exempt - how that translates to yours, I don't know the answer.
  19. For a moment I thought Nutsak was playing a squeeze box!

    Wasps!!

    Even though they may not reuse an old nest, it is not unusual for wasps to add on to a previous nest in a desirable spot. I've seen some that are several feet across!

    Wasps!!

    Wasps are very useful for much of the year, both for pollination and pest control. I'm no fan of them either!

    Wasps!!

    I've often noticed wasps in bags of coal, which then start waking up again when the heat inside the boat warms them up to break winter dormancy. Vinegar is an excellent antidote for wasp stings.
  23. Too many egos at work these days, in a confrontation no one is prepared to be seen to lose - even if they were in the wrong.

  25. It may be a corporate promotional gift, sent out to customers/contractors.
