Now it's time to fix the boiler room, also called "the old engine room" or our "crawl-in closet". It contains everything that controls electricity, heating and water in the houseboat. You can also use this room for storage. The "funny thing" is that every time someone has decided to install something new, they have left the old one in place. And this has been going on since the early 190s ...
A tangle of cables
The result is a jumble of systems, no more than half of which work, and tangles of cables that sometimes go nowhere at all. So it's time to clean up! We will scrub, paint, rewire and bring in both electricians and plumbers!

You don't seem to have any difficulty at all in filling your "wage-less" time. Exciting things to explore in the boiler room....And who knows, you might find some real bargains among the parts and wires.

Ditte, no, we don't find it difficult to fill the time...

Marina, sometimes you get annoyed when things don't work, but it's actually really fun to make an effort to get organised!

Mum's machete, not big... and a bit difficult to answer. The floor area is only a few square metres, but then the walls slope outwards and can also be used for storage. The ceiling height is not even quite standing height (unless you are very short... 😉 ).
