You are fast becoming my favorite narrowboat vlogger! So fun to watch you Rozzie, Rob & Ralph. First will always be David, Cruising the Cut - he was the first vlogger I got hooked on. I was so sad when he quit cruising the canals. And the inside of your narrowboat is so beautiful.

What a surprise to hear my name ! Thank- you. It was my pleasure to donate to your charity run. I admire your fortitude. Greetings from Pennsylvania ! I have become so addicted to the Narrowboat Vlogs I follow that I am planning to rent a cottage on the canal in Blisworth in the late summer or Fall. Good opportunity to see friends from the days I lived in Milton Keynes. Look forward to your Vlogs

Regarding drying clothes, have you considered buying a dehumidifier? Place it under a clothes horse of damp clothes and they will dry quite quickly.

Good suggestion however would require plugging in and mean running the engine for the batteries. Thanks for watching

Thanks for posting this vlog. So interesting to see everyone else’s costs as I’m due to move onboard my boat in the next 2 months or so. I am going all electric so won’t have gas or coal as I’m having diesel fire too so can’t wait to see what my costs will be. 👍

Thank you so much for doing a more up-to-date costings video , I have seen other videos but they were years old and theirs not that many newer videos but it's really handy since I'll be selling my house next year to buy a boat and I also understand the crt are putting the licensed up aswell
@thenarrowboatgoodlife

@nathanberry4339

​@@thenarrowboatgoodlifewill do , I'd imagine this year's cost will be higher and next year's costs will be considerably higher , it seems to be the way of the world at the moment sadly

Some of these figure are similar to mine but I use Diesel not wood costing me around £140 per month to fill the diesel tank that's having the wabasto running for the last six months gas one 13 kg bottle lasted us 6 months we have been in the marina since last October with the cost of the diesel there was £18 included in the diesel price for the pump out toilet once a month .
@thenarrowboatgoodlife
@thenarrowboatgoodlife Год назад
Good to know they are similar. Not everyone will be exactly the same. Thanks for watching 😊

@tims7793 9 месяцев назад
Useful, thanks. I've watched many of these, most which will allow something for food/travel/clothing/health/incidentals, and they seem to range from 8K up to 14K. Yours is cheaper but again, you're not including other normal living costs.
@thenarrowboatgoodlife
@thenarrowboatgoodlife 9 месяцев назад
Glad it was useful. We didn’t include those costs as you’d have them regardless of how you live. Thanks for watching 😊

Great vlog guys interesting what you spent money on. We are not continuous cruisers and spend a lot on marina fees. On your Internet I've got an EE prepaid card it was 240 for 24 months
@thenarrowboatgoodlife
@thenarrowboatgoodlife Год назад
That’s interesting about your pre-paid Wi-Fi. Is that unlimited? I’ll look into that when ours is done. Thanks. 👍🏻

Honestly, even if you spent £6,000 a year (£500 of which is a savings against future costs), that is so small against the basic costs of a house. Just property tax and insurance plus utilities on our house are about $1,000 a month, never mind the mortgage and repairs and everything else. It seems super reasonable!
@thenarrowboatgoodlife
@thenarrowboatgoodlife 10 месяцев назад
Certainly is! Don’t have all the conveniences of a house! But we love it 😊
@Emma-it6yb

Great video, I work out that it would be just under £600 a month, that is my rent and a bit of my council tax.
@thenarrowboatgoodlife

Love the videos Guys. Especially your boat. May I ask. How often do you empty your toilet tank? I don’t own a boat as yet. But we’re interested in the lifestyle. Steve & Julia. Keep them coming. Best wishes to you both.
@thenarrowboatgoodlife
@thenarrowboatgoodlife Год назад
Thanks for watching. We have a compost toilet so there’a no tank. We empty it probably once every 5days and have access to safe disposal. 👍🏻🍻

hi guys - love to watch your adventures. we are excitedly awaiting our new 60' build completed in a couple of months, so making arrangements. Really useful to see your costs, as we imagine our CC lifestyle to be very similar ;o) - - can i ask about the yearly quote you gave of £215 for Insurance (as something we need to sort out); who is that with, and full cover ?- thanks ... keeping blogging
@thenarrowboatgoodlife
@thenarrowboatgoodlife Год назад
Thank you! Our insurers are Craft insure. It’s a little extra this year as we’ve got more contents cover and added some itemised belongings. Still very good value though 👍🏼

We have a semi-trad boat and definitely don't have 2 doors to the outside. We're you thinking about a trad stern where you have doors either side of the engine room?

Would I be correct that a litre of Diesel, runs the engine for approximately one hour?
@thenarrowboatgoodlife
@thenarrowboatgoodlife 10 месяцев назад
Thanks for watching. It’s hard to measure but We buy less than 1ltr diesel per hour of of engine running. It would depend if we are charging the batteries by having the engine on or moving. So blended I think it’s about 3/4 litres per hour. 🍻👍🏻

It’s not cheap to keep a boat going, if you want to live a comfortable life. Even if you take out the costs for next year. However if you enjoy it then it’s worth it. 😊

Boats do need lots of maintenance so I agree. Thanks for watching 👍🏻🍻

What is the general cost of a newly built narrowboat like yours?

@philb5188
@philb5188 10 месяцев назад
Just curious. Normally having a 2 pak blacking lasts quite a while. Have you done it because you wanted to or needed to??
@thenarrowboatgoodlife
@thenarrowboatgoodlife 10 месяцев назад
Hi, I think you’re asking why we’ve planned for blacking to be done after 2 years and not 4, which is the expected time with 2pac. If so we just want to over commit on our budget. The sides do get a little bashed as we move so much and it’s possible that we may want/need to have it done sooner than the 4years. Hope that answers. Thanks for watching. 👍🏻🍻
