(160) NARROWBOAT PROBLEM: Oh S*** That is Not Good - to Laugh or Cry ?? 

I don’t know how you do it you two. No matter what gets thrown your way you never throw in the towel. Inspiring. Well done.

Hey Elliot and Sue, How're things going? We hope that the water on Josh wasn't too bad and that you've been able to sort it. All the best and we look forward to seeing you back on RU-vid as soon as you're able. Sonya and Tony (Same ship different day)

Hi guys are you OK not seen any new stuff. Really hope you are not having any bad luck as from this leak video still. Do wish you the best as always. Nothing to report from here yet on the latest from the land slip. will email you as always for a chat and update.. Kev the brinklow kayaker 🎉

HSE briefing. Always switch off water pump when leaving the boat. This conversation happened only the other day. With no consensus agreement. For example belt and braces fitting an expansion tank after the calorifier hot pipe since the tank expansion and contraction might split the seem on the tank. Some say no some say yes There is no answer. Water pump off is only real solution.

Bless you guys have you found were it's coming from its always something hope you get it sorted and don't cost much

Hi guys. OMG. Just managed to get Wi-Fi to see your vlog. We are so so sorry you’ve been challenged again. If we were nearer we would come and help. Have you managed to sort the leak. We are in the middlewich area if we can help. Just shout. Take care. See you soon. X. Lee & Di x

Jesus! Just seen this and am so sorry for you; will say you seem very positive still. Hope it all works pit x😢

Missed you both

Sorry about the mishap. Having a wet/dry vac on hand for situations like this is most helpful. Did you find where the water was coming in?🌊 Take care, be well 🤗💕 Lacy, Mike & Hamish🐾 PS. This is the first time been inside Josh to see any of the 'improvements'.🤔

Hello from Kansas! Sorry to see you guys going through this! So where did the water come from? You might invest in a bore scope so you can drill a little inspection hole and then look with the bore scope! Thanks!

Oh my god any idea how it's happened? I hope you get it sorted out soon 🤞👍

Oh mate! What a bloody disaster. I’m glad you managed to pump it out and dry the floor but what caused it in the first place and has it been rectified? You’re going to look like Popeye if you have to keep pumping for hrs every day. Hope you’re both keeping your spirits up and good luck sorting it all out xx

OOHHH Elliott and Sue. "When it rains it pours". Regarding cutting the vinyl back, you should be able to get what we call a "transition strip". They are made from either aluminum, wood or fiber board material. Transition strips will hold the raw edges of the vinyl down while creating a neat finished joint. In your case you can screw it down with screws that are provided. B&Q should carry them. At least the floor is drying out quickly. Mark Alberta, Canada

Awwww we are so sorry for your troubles do hope it sorted 🙏🤗🤗🌹🌷🌺

Wow that’s a disaster ☹️ where did it come from? You still up on the LL? Hope you get things sorted pretty quick 💪

OMG !! A Narrowboaters worst nightmare. Water in the boat. Where do you think its come from. Is your stern packing all ok. Just a stupid thought, but it happens. Good luck and well done for dealing with it and vlogging at the same time. Your hardened boaters now guys.

Really feel for you guys not nice coming home to a flooded boat is it😱

Oh no!! Glad you’re still laughing! Good luck. Can’t wait to see the fix. I have every confidence in you two taking care of this.

The joys of having an old boat!! More to the point, have you found where the water is coming in from? On the video, it looks to be clean, so the cold water tank? Hope you've now got it sorted.

Having read the comments, my question was answered. So basically, you have to fix the leaky fitting, refill the water tank, and dry the entire floor out. Then you have to decide if and when, as well as what, will need to be replaced. This will take a while. On the other hand, ay least it wasn't a leak in the hull. --Dan

Nice to see you back, I wish it was under better circumstances, glad you found the cause of the water and really pleased it wasn't a hole in the hull

So sorry to watch this and see the damage. Must have been devastating coming back and being greeted with water everywhere. It seems to be drying out nicely though so hopefully things will be back how they should be soon enough.

Flipping eke... You don't do it by half do you.. So new toy what was it? Biggest question what has leaked the water looks clean so I presume it's fresh drinking water? Don't panic it's not that bad it just looks it now. You're both putting a bad 👎 thing into positive thing with some comedy cutting the floor wrongly and laughing about it. 😅 You'll get the floor sorted just get the cause fixed first uouve all the time in the world to fix wet wood and floor mat. Those dehumidifiers are good but uou need to leave on for 5hrs at least put it onto washing drying mode it will be more intensive ours is great. Sometimes it has hardly any eater to empty after few hours but can be full other times. If you needed assistance and was closer to me I'd be there to help you. Even if just to put my finger in the leaking hole lol. 😅 Thank you for the update sorry its bad news I can see now why you said in your email uou were having problems. I sent the files to you on that app hope you got all 3. Emailed a picture from hundred years ago too of canal by me hope you got it. Get sorted all the very best Stay positive. Kev the brinklow kayaker any help required just shout. 😮

Oh no, not what any boater wants. Apart from the worry of where all the water has come from but all the hard work you have previously done needs to be redone again. Hopefully its not a costly fix. ❤

Have you found the cause yet? All the best, Tricia and Neil....xx

Oh you poor things think of you always something isn’t there take care xx

It is nice to see you back even though it is under very wet circumstances. I hope everything is ok now.

I did wonder where you were, I even checked I hadn't been unsubbed by RU-vid x

Where are you is there any thing we can help wash dry cloths or any thing

Elliott and Sue. That’s awful. I was impressed by your old bond movie product placement. The theakstons bottle. The Hello Fresh cardboard box on the floor. The gadgets ready to use. I hope you get it sorted. Couldn’t work out if it was a leak inside or ingress from outside?

Can unscrew one at time feet then move lino then wind down foot

Bless good practice lol love you guys

So what caused the leak, calorifior split or water tank? 🦆💕

Elliot Very sorry to see this but what happened and the cause . Cheers

Xx

Looking at all your stuff, you must have a secret submarine that you're dragging behind you where you put all your stuff in! Bad luck guys, hope it didn't stink you out!

Ho no

This made me cry
