    Very refreshing to meet with folk who understand the lack of dredging is the problem. Take you two.

      Yes - actually VERY little maintenance or upkeep on any of the canals done by that taxing agency! Overgrown weeds, overhanging trees, poorly maintained locks,, lack of mooring in many areas, etc., etc. I'd suggest getting together with all users and filled a complaint. BTW, does the CRT pay people out of your fees?

    Hi just looked at my costs and ours is a staggering £327.95 a month. And you just saved me some money as we were paying for river and canal license. But we live on a river. Thanks

    how about the boat maintenance costs split by month, e.g. engine and other servicing, replacement batteries, painting, blacking, annual safety certificate etc.?

    I`m fortunate and paid my mortgage off 9 years ago( it`s a lovely feeling knowing you own your home) but the rent on these places alone is £790 a month for a self contained 1 bed flat near the sea so your costs are ace. Especially as your home is also detached with countryside views if you wish it. I`m also a truck driver and it made me laugh whe n you said about people foraging their wood as I recently saw a bloke cutting off branches on the Q.T. in a lay-by to heat his home(gotta do what you gotta do). Would it pay you guys to get a lilo or little Dingy to put your bags of shopping in during the floods???

    If you only have a river license can you still travel on the canals too, or are you restricted to rivers??

    • @sparsh415
      @sparsh415 11 месяцев назад

      I believe that license covers all the waterways.

    Is it possible to get a loan for a canal boat with a canal boat as your address.
    What make router do you have.
    Thank you 👍👏🤞🙏

    Really beats cost ofliving in house or apartment just the rent here and we live just outside of New York is more than triple your boat costs then utilities etc auto it’s a pity we don’t have as many canals as Britain l would be looking for a boat another great visit with you both as always 🇬🇧🇺🇸

    I gotta say, whod have the responcibility of a house these days.
    We live mobile. We have a 10 meter American caravan.
    We've done the big tour of New Zealand.
    Now just potter. An hours drive, stay put for a couple of months, move on.
    We're retired.

    So this is more to you guys in general, rather than this video specifically.
    I'm an Industrial Design student (AKA Product Design) at the University of Houston in the US and have followed you guys for a while.
    For a college project I'm designing a product for mobile living (So narrowboats, van life people, RVs, etc) and was curious if I could talk to you guys and ask some questions in detail about everyday life to see if there is something I can design!
    Just let me know if you guys want to talk and we can figure out a way to get in better contact! ✌️

    Wooow you guys doing great including the fact that you guys have a loan and every other cost… so technically you pay for a room in a shared house in London. My room in Seven Sisters was £800 and I would share with the owner. I is had my own shower outside my room..
    Living in a boat is amazing tho. I miss that underwear heating but the costs are so low on my end.

    Remember...It is very dangerous to wade through fast flood water!!! You never know what might be in your way, and there is a danger of open manholes too!! Sty safe and happy! From John

  • @sianwarwick633
    @sianwarwick633 11 месяцев назад

    Thanks for the real numbers, totally appreciate that work. And...
    thanks for breaking down the costs according to what decisions you make about what you want out of your boat life. Building in that flex makes it easier to understand the decisions you make. [Side note : For yhe internet cost here Canada, its insanely high, around $175 for a phone/internet bundle, which majes it somewhat tough to add further patreon but, that can always be done. For router, we say r-ow-ter, so it doesn't get confused with r-oo-ter, like roto-rooter which is a landscaping machine to pull out plant roots (sorry for dullness)]. Just a heads-up
