Good to see your feeling better if a bit disappointed by the BSS results . Is your Stove ‘Harth’ ‘Heath ‘ ( what ever its called ) standing on the old Floor underneath it ? If so , could you just use a longer Wood screw that reaches down to it , for a solid fix .

The worst pain is in the spine. I have herniated discs but got to finish painting the outside of my boat. Just take it easy Bex. There's a great chiropractor in coventry they do laser too which really helps.

Glad Bex is feeling better, neck and back pains are always tough to deal with. The BSS failure can't be too bad - they've not condemned the boat outright and let you keep it. At least that's something.

I had the same as you and over the years with terrible pain and 10 days in a morphine delirium. I finally got it sorted with an rolled up medium towel bath size too big. You fold in half and roll into a sausage shape then take your pillow and insert at one end to the other at the inside edge. Leave your not too plump pillow in as well so the rolled towel sits under your neck. Leave it in permanently. The rest of your head on the pillow. Make sure it fully supports your neck but not Leave it crooked. Then ask the doc for a few diaizipan low dose to fully relax the muscle and allow full healing. Keep some in the medical cabinet for if you strain your neck again. Please know this will work like nothing else. I've had so many years of problems of of my neck. Saw docs hospitals specialists physio back osteos etc etc no problems since x

Chris I think you’re lying and I also think as we’ve been on this journey with you for so long, also the fact I was kinda feeling sick when Dan arrived it’s so mean of you to leave us like this, we ALL want to see you out on the water, we all live this with you. IF it did fail why. but as I said I don’t believe it, I think I’ve seen that look on your faces before. OK see you SOON I hope, take care. ❤️

I didnt pick up on your neck injury. Glad you're feeling better. I've found yoga great for my back and neck and doable on a narrowboat. I use the fiton app which you can use for free if you don't mind ads. I've recently discovered Thai massage so maybe when you're more recovered it might help prevent it returning. Love the channel and you've prompted me to send hubby on nbsc plumbing course so we can replace our calorifier

You can buy stick on discs with a 6mm hole in it to line up those bits for tiles . You did not need as the foot o f the stove did the same job. As another comment keep cooling the bit every few seconds in water.. Saying all that I just would not have shown any on youtube and just cut the heads off the bolts and used an epoxy glue to stick them over the holes . That way no holes in tiles in case I changed the stove in the future. Bit naughty but as you say it is solid..

When I needed to drill a tile my dad showed me a tip. He just used to use a masonry drill bit and put a bit of insulation tape on the tile where you wanted to drill the hole to stop the drill bit slipping when your drilling it. Also drill it to the Size of a raw plug and use a raw plug in the hole to screw into and secure it. I’m sure if I remember right it’s a 5.5 mm drill bit for red raw plugs.

Bex so glad that you are doing better. Sorry to hear about the BSS, hope that it was only small things. Looking forward to the next video to learn what went wrong. That was really clever about the caulking to help hold the screws in place. If you need to use those diamond bits again have a cup of water at hand to dribble water onto the bit to keep it cool as you drill. The diamonds, Chris, are industrial grade so they are really worth VERY little. Not the kind of thing that you would have made into a ring for Bex. They are held in place with a high temperature resin. Big hugs and keep smiling. Mark Alberta, Canada
