    Your boat is actually in incredible condition for being as old as it is. I've repaired tugboats built in the 60s and 80s that were in insanely bad states of disrepair and still being used. Yours looks like it still has a mostly undamaged hull (minus a little rust here and there, honestly I've seen so much worse pass inspection.) the engines are clean, the interior is all rebuilt, and I love how you turned the wheel house into a part of your living space. My only concern would be corrosion in the pipes but all that was probably inspected and repaired when they replaced the check valve for the sewage tank. (We always inspected similar systems when doing repairs on things, so if we had to replace one overboard check valve we would open all of them up for inspection and check the pipes they were connected to.)

I don't think a Swede would have thought of gun ownership on the boat since Swedish law protects their citizens from gun use. In other words, jail time for the gun user. They probably just got rattled by the expletives because there are other ways the yeller could give them consequences for trespassing. Especially since they are on someone's boat.

    Somewhat botched translation of the blocket ad:
    M/S Alfred is an 19.5 meter long and 4.8 meter wide towboat/icebreaker refurnished as a houseboat. Fully driveable with 430 hp. Heatpump and stove for heating. Currently has a berth at Söder Mälarstrands kaj for houseboats and is sold with a berth at Stockholms Hamnar. The buyer will be approved after a year of testing.
    Wheelhouse, kitchen and bathroom on the upper deck. Living room with connected bedroom on lower deck. Washing machine, dishwasher, water toilet and shower. Is currently connected to communal water and sewers.

    • @kinsnuf

      I'm sorta confused about that part too... I'm assuming the space that comes with the boat is your for at least a year, and if the owners of the dock don't want to rent that space out to you anymore, you need to find somewhere else.

    • @EverTM

      Also, maybe the boat is sold at a discount, and the "year of testing" means that the buyer gives Simone the right to use them as a guinea pig for robot testing and development for one year. Probably sick of getting her own hair stuck in machines.

    • @sithonsithon1012
      @sithonsithon1012 6 лет назад +9

    Just found this and the scene where you are hyper-gagging is extremely accurate. In my youth I worked as a ship builder. It was how I supported myself and my family. I loved every minute of it. I lived on the Oregon coast and worked year round in the shipyard. Rain is not your friend when dealing with electricity and getting shocked was NO picnic. But the absolute worse was when, early on, I and 3 others had to clean the bilge on a 75 yr old fishing boat. It had not been touched since it had been launched. The smell was nearly overpowering. Even with masks and respirators, it was a living nightmare. We had a 40 foot zone around the vessel that was fenced off so none of the other workers would be affected by the smell. I wound up buying many, many sets of coveralls to wear while we used shovels, our hands and finally a hose and wet/dry vacuums to get to the bare metal at the keel so as to replace about 23, I think, feet of the hull, ribs and the longs. My wife had to buy a used washing machine to keep on the back porch just to wash my work clothes. She really loved me...

    • @christiangeiselmann
      @christiangeiselmann 6 лет назад +66

      Matthias Wandel Perhaps because many people, especially the young and well educated are living in other countries today at least for periods of time? The idea of the European Union is to allow people chose their place of living and working etc without regard to country borders. Perhaps you are seeing just the effect of this?

    • @lazyhominid
      @lazyhominid 6 лет назад +85

      Because Swedish people often live abroad for periods, to get experience working with other cultures and learn about the world and thus themselves.
      I'm more curious why people in other countries do not do this.

    • @christiangeiselmann
      @christiangeiselmann 6 лет назад +33

      Jesper Anderson Some countries do not allow their citizens to leave. Other countries do not offer the necessary education and income to citizens to go easily abroad. Or they go abroad but are seen there as refugees or migrants. On the other hand, I have seen young people from almost everywhere spending time in foreign countries for self-experience. Sometimes of course only single people from very privileged families are able to do this. In order to discuss the topic further we would need more data about percentage of population spending time abroad for educative reasons.
