286. Narrowboat Advent Calendar Day 5 

Floor looks great. Good attention to detail, makes all the difference. 👍

You may wish to invest in a suction cup . To remove those inspection covers in the future. It will save the risk of marking up the tiles on the edges

Floor looks great.. I’m impressed with your patience. I will say you’ve really sold me on the Japanese saw

Cracking job on the floor, pal. Makes a huge difference!

Another job, jobbed. Almost. No more night-time man traps. All the best, mate. It's curtains for you, sonny Jim.

Looking fantastic. How you did that bit in the bedroom with foam was great. And words can express how the bathroom is turning out. Both are brilliant!

Howdy James and the floor came up great. Keith

Brilliant transformation 👍 great job

A narrowboat legend and grand master. Respect.

Lovely job ! Looking quite cosy now. Well done James.

Your a pro now mate with a saw

Looks good fixing this to put some skirting around one way of doing it used 2x1 pse screw that above your pipe Nice and level put a piece of 5 or 6” Pse as skirting against it forms of L-shaped them just put a 45 along the front edge to form box in skirting job done put the packing at the back stop the bottom from Kicking in Job done I am a carpenter by trade by the way Well retired one

Looking great James .. we want an update on the fiddly bit round the shower 🤣🤣

I'm going to get a Japanese saw just say I have one ! I like electricity but I like hand tools when there is none to be had!

Hi James, that like a good days work. Good to see the progress. Take care and thank you.

I'm looking forward to seeing your face when you open the last advent window... Not because it's christmas, because you clearly filmed them one after the other on the same day HAHA. You already look a bit annoyed with it when you close the window, and you've only done 5 LOL

Excellent work. I would have procrastinated far longer. 😄

The floor looks really good

It's looking good. ;-)

bathroom hatches, use the cutoff pieces. Best way to match pattern. You will need to slice a tiny bit off them to get a gap to be able to lift the hatches out.

Looking great.

looking good keep up the good vids james thanks ;lee

Do you do your shutters intro each day or have you recorded all of them in advance to edit in later? Have this glorious vision of you popping out 25 times as bemused walkers go past! 🤣

Top Days Work Young James :-)

James, you could put a rubber lip on those two lids in the floor.

Nice job around the bathroom floor fiddly bits James. A touch of gray paint would work on those lift-up panels, instead of the stick-on tiles, no? Will you put a hole in each of them for a finger lift or possibly fit in one of those boat-y sunken metal thingies instead?

Hi you might have to plane a bit off the covers in the bathroom so the floor tiles are level. Coming along nicely;-)

Great job James...I noticed the vlog twitching....still a great vlog...hugs

I'm still waiting for the flame paint job on the bow. And big Cumminings or Mercedes Turbo Diesel in the stern with trim tabs and ski/tubing rope mount. Good music blasting from the boat and bikini girls crawling all over it. And if it was my boat a place for my Goldwing to nest when not rocking the narrow boat. I would have to have a toy hauler narrow or wide beam boat forsure. I guess there are reasons why Americans don't have narrow boats..... LMAO!!!!!

Looks good.

Did you consider using the perspex now you havr made the hole square.

I like the floor and your wired shape saw

Can’t you use the bits you trimmed off as then the pattern would match James?

Floor is looking mint mate! Really coming together now, looks like a home. Any news on dinette cushions? Are all the walls staying white? Stay strong mate

👍👌🇨🇦❤

How about painting the two covers black and stencilling in white "DANGER" or "BILGE ACCESS", even "Flotsam" and "Jetsam" say it as it is. Insert some childish humour - even a picture of "Winnie the Pooh"

Sorry rectangle
