Building a hearth for our Log Burner | Ceiling is finished! | Narrowboat Conversion | BOATLIFE 

You are a very talented young couple fantastic what you are doing great job xx

Cool idea with the curtain pole, went and done exactly the same thing with our boat, not that I'm copying you 😀 😉

I think it is so rude that someone complains about Danni being bossy, after all the work you two put into this lovely vlog for us to watch each week. Holly the Cafe Boat is a completely different chanel and feels different, I enjoy watching you both. This one I have watched almost from the beginning, and look forward to seeing you both each week and travelling on this journey with you. I think Joe is a total poppet, such a lovely genuine person, and Danni is equally lovely. You make a good team together. I wish I could be there to help you do some painting, would love to help you both if I was alittle nearer. You make a great team x

WOW. I am a big fan of HB but appreciate Danny for her own qualities. Think she is smart and kind actually.

Hilarious...Danni...bossy? 🤣 I'm currently binge watching from the beginning as I'm starting my own narrowboat journey next spring. Is there anything Joe cant do? Hes amazing!

You two work so well together. If someone is too insecure to watch, their loss! Top job with the tiling. That head bump was a big 'woooahh' from here. Had my fair share of them working in the loft.

Hi Danni and Jo, you can’t please everyone, so please don’t try. The boat is looking fantastic, you did a great job on the tile. The curtains make the boat look homey. Once the fire is burning it will be cozy 🥰 Hope you have a great week.

Hi Joe is there any end to to your skills you are very talented 10 out of 10 mate and it's a good thing you have danni to keep you in check she is also a very good hand to have

Been watching you both from the start, and you are both amazing. An inspiration. Cant wait till you are completed and safe and warm in your new home xxx

I like that you guys keep all the chaos in. Gives people a more realistic idea of what it's like to take on such a huge project.

Haha bossy Danni …. no she’s lovely. You’re both great. Wow love the curtains, ceiling and hearth. Really steaming ahead now, such a change. Well done. Love your vlogs 😊

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi Danni and Joe. Boat is really beginning to take shape. Finishing the ceiling and adding the curtains made it look so much cosier, and great work on the stove hearth area - can't believe you've never tiled before. Was a bit puzzled at the post which described Danni as bossy - we had just been saying to each other at the start of the vlog what a good team you make, giving your own opinions on things but compromising to get the best outcomes - stay just as you are, you seem fine to us and we've just had our 50th Anniversary. Fantastic effort and super progress making another great vlog. Thanks again. George and Trish - CaravanningMacs.

Love the way you compliment each other and work together so well. You’ll have a fabulous boat when you’ve finished! (Errr… you never ever finish of course, there’s always more to do!) Love from us, David and Beverley, NB Froya

I wish I could tile that quick, just kidding. Everything is coming together and looking great. Keep up the great videos. :-)

You are both great and compliment each other. You’re doing an amazing job…renovating, vlogging and also both having jobs too. Thankfully you have your age in your favour 🤣🤣. Love watching each week. Take care, stay safe…Helen and Mark x

Hi you two. It's all coming together now isn't it? You are doing a great job. We love watching you work things out together. Oh and I can't wait for the pink marble. Helen & Keith

Hi Danni & Joe It's been great watching your narrowboat/project /adventure, Very interesting watching you talented people renovate a beautiful boat. Thank you for the videos they're very entertaining & I look forward to each one.

Step by step, looking good.

Danni & Joe 👋 MASSIVE shout out to you guys from Sydney, AUS. Moved from Bristol a few years ago and your channel is the best getaway when I need some time away from the everyday. Class project and impressive craftsmanship too! Totally get your impatience for wanting to get started on everything at once- it’s exciting aye! Thanks for sharing the story with us all. Absolutely loving it! Keeping shining! ✨✌️✨

Danni, Joe, What a great Vlog. Your boat looks more amazing every week. Love the banter when you are working together. A great watch. Thank you. Take Care.

I have both saved bugs and had that kind of head-knock. It hurts like heck! Thanks Happy Hermit, now piss off! In my house I'm sometimes wrong, My other half is rarely wrong, and we both own it when we are. Great channel!

So impressed with you both. This is fast becoming my favorite narrowboat Vlog. I can hardly wait for the next one to come out. Love your can do attitude. Well done!

Tiling looks great 👍

Hi Danni and Jo. Love the work and we are sure you will have a great boat when finally finished. Keep going and we look forward to watching your vlogs every week. Keith & Helen in Australia.

Just a quick note guys. Stainless steel is not an efficient reflector of radiant heat (infra red) regardless of surface finish, aluminium is a much better reflector - again regardless of surface finish. So even if you choose mirror finish s/s a matt finish aluminium will be better. Loving the vlogs, stay safe.

Just a suggestion for your hearth.....you might want to leave a gap at the corners so that you can sweep any ash out onto your dust pan. Please see The Narrowboat that James built for further details.

Wow! You got a lot done this week. I’m really enjoying the vlogs and the hearth looks really good. My boat was made in 1992 and the stove is in the corner by the door close to the wall. There’s no heatproof board at all, just tiles directly on to the wood. They only get a little warm, not hot.

You two are very talented. My hats off to you both.

Great video, making progress keep up the great work, there is a rug on the floor that kid play on with car and we had on 30 years ago, in building process there is always extra hole in the wall or ceiling

Bugtastic ❤️🤩

Loving ur vlog. So refreshing to see the process and how you film it in fast frame . Keep it up. The music is super neat too.

Great duo I reckon 👌👍 good balance of chill and bossy 😜 funny watching the tiling, reminds me of me and my gf with our first house! Keep doing what you're doing - can't wait to see how the boat turns out

all Those screw holes - finally - i was starting to call Joe "perfect joe" he doesn't make any mistakes i was thinking huh. I knew he had made some he just never showed them (or i missed the ones you showed on other videos) but it is good to see them!!!

U really are clever Joe

Well done!

Danni bossy?! 🤣🤣 Just a bit of a pain in the ass who naps too much but so lovely and adorable in the process, she's gorgeous really :) Keep up the good work folks you're doing something many people only ever dream or talk about x

Holly is lovely from the cafe boat but Danni is as well and the important thing is you work as a team.

trying to help mother nature and look what happened, and the funniet thing is i swear to god for the first time while watching this video i asked myself, when are they going to have a blooper reel!!! lol, lol, lol. I expected it would be Danni on the real the most and most likely first!!!

Hi Danni/Joe, What a fantastic and a amazing job your both doing, Your hands on approach and DIY skills are excellent, along with your eagerness to tackle any job big or small. your vlogs are always interesting and well put together. well done and Take care...

Danni & Joe! Lovely hearth thanks for the vid - please recommend the heat resistant adhesive you used to join the CS board and tile backer thank youuuuuuu!!!!

Really enjoy your blogs and the progress you are making with the narrow boat.

I wouldn’t worry about the comments, as your channel grows so do the numbers of less than pleasant comments, its a sign you’re doing a good thing! If i was you I’d play on it and make it my USP, a bit like Cybil and Basil 😂 Keep up the good work and if you ever need a camera man in West Sussex I’m a gimble ready Manwell! Xxx

Hi guy's doing a brilliant job curtains needing thermal backing plus can be doing With more width just a little to neet for more private in your Lovely narrowboat 👍

Use grout with some elasticity in it or get the additive to mix n the grout. Helps with grout cracking because it “gives” a little.

Thought that your dad's idea for mocking up the flue pipe was genius, now we can see the sipe in situ it looks great. Good job with the tiling. You are getting on to the nice things now..

Good work! I wish I’d had your DIY skills when I was your age, instead I joined the navy and became institutionalised! I wouldn’t say Danni is bossy you just have another opinion, besides it’s your dynamic as a couple and you work well together. By the way where did you get the brackets for the curtain poles from? It’s exactly what I’m looking for in my narrowboat. Keep up the good videos.

It’s looking like a home….Great progress

Like the certain rail idea, very nice 👌

Well done both , when you start to grout , dont mix the grout too wet and wipe off excess straight away with a damp spong then polish the off with a clean cloth leaving no grout on the face of the tiles otherwise it`ll not be nice . once again well done .......both

Great video 👍 again you two, excellent work on the fire/safety.

Great video and such progress. Absolutely love the banter big time.

Wow it’s coming on well done to you both. Hope the fire goes well x

Currently binge watching from the beginning of the narrowboat purchase. For the record, I’m in Daphne, Alabama on Mobile Bay (pronounced Mo-bill not the other way). Thoroughly enjoying your vids. Look forward to each one. I’m curious, as to your respective professions. You both mention work in the real world, but not what you do. It was mentioned in an early episode that Danni was a nurse. Did you get rid of the other car? Just a question or two. Scott.

Greaf vlog, cant wait to see that stove in action. Steve n Joan.

Since either of you folks have a background in what you are doing I think you're doing great. We all have our bossy moments so that is a bit silly. If you have some experience in an issue it is only natural to offer suggestions or guidance to anyone else. If you do anymore painting, you can always use tinfoil to coat a paint tray and then just throw away the tinfoil. Much less clean-up. It is your boat and your life so just 'crack on' as you folks say. Take care and if you don't post anymore too soon have a great holiday season.

Great video, looking like the curtain poles maybe too short when you have to open them? Love the way Danny gets all excited and clapped Her handswhen things are going well , reminded me of a friend in my younger days playing Hurley back home made me smile cheers 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

A little tip for you when tiling anything always use PVA and water mix 50-50 coat your back boards first it will stop the suction of the grout that way the tiles will stick better also you shouldn’t use wall tiles under fires do you need proper flooring tiles otherwise they will crack with Heat use some hard wood to go round your harth before you grout

They make these pavilion in a 5x8 size that could cover your rear deck that would be cheaper than a pram cover as a means to keep the sun/rain off the rear deck

Ace tilling 👍

Ha haaa ....yes Danni bossy and the idea of managing go hand in hand . You can put me down on record Joe as a neutral with a big smile on his face....you know she needs to keep an eye on you.

Use methylated spirits & a plastic washing up scourer to clean up / remove tile adhesive & grout.

Boat is starting to look good now, why dont you use 15mm copper pipe for your curtains and polish them up.or you could get some old brass stair rail grips.. keep up with the videos I enjoy watching.

Who's playing the righteous slide guitar at round 21 minutes? :-)

Good video

Oh emma mattresses have 50% off atm for black friday, dont know if theyd fold but heard theyre are super super good!

good vid keep up the good vid thanks lee

TOO BOSSY tell them to get a life sod em that's why I say you both seem very compatible. Boat's looking good. see yas bossy n joe cheers n beers Marty Australia

Super work again. Remember the wife's in charge.

Snappin that 1/2" hardibacker is always a fight, I've taken to using concrete disks on my grinder. A carbide grit blade on your multitool would work too. And good on you two for wearing your respirators! Silicosis is no joke. I am curious why you guys went with a wood stove vice coal? I've noticed from watching narrowboaters on youtube that coal seems to be rather popular. Here in Connecticut I heat my house with anthracite, can't beat the price.

dolmio do a small double memery foam mattress

Hahaha no worries about being bossy, my daughter is about your age & she's bossy too. I don't think her boyfriend would have her any other way, some blokes actually like strong women! Well done with the tiling. You're gonna need that fire from next week! x

Ouchy !! many a time ive done that bang my head on way out of boat x

Ouch. I wear a hard hat liner down below.

Hi Danny Joe,wow Joe I felt that when you hit your head on the hatch cover please fit some pipe insulation on that bit ,we can’t have Danny hitting her head can we now don’t want any damage to the hatch do we now lol 😆,you two are doing such a great job you think about it and get on with it ,we will never know that heat shield was broken good job well done young man ,well Danny someone got to be in charge,are you saying Joe on Holly the caffe boat is bossy lol,if that’s the first time you have done tilting not bad ,,, it the best way for a fireplace,great video you two most interesting 🧐 so till next time take care keep safe, John 🙌👏🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🌹🌹😴🧐😆🎅🏻🎄

Actually, my wife made similar comments about Danni after some of the earlier episodes. Bossy it not good management, in fact bossy managers are hated managers and don't get good results in the work place due to causing resentment. The boat appears to be progressing well but please reduce the fast swinging of camera. It seems to be a new camera technique for you guys as it was not the way in earlier episodes. My wife had to give up watching after a few minutes as it was making her feel sick and gave her a headache. (I don't get motion sickness or anything close to it, so not so bad for me beyond it being unpleasant on the eye. However, I don't even feel queasy on a roller coaster - to the extent they boor me, so I am not the person to ask if the wild and fast camera swinging is okay.)

Just a thought, but reference your wood burner. Did you check the installation against the requirements of the Boat Safety Scheme? They are different to a home installation. Good Luck, Dave.

Could you have used a patrias box grommet

I like the curtain rod holders, very nautical. A nurse need to be a bit bossy to deal with difficult patients.

Costco sell rolled mattresses

Only Danni got called out? That says more about the critic, comparing women to each other and not liking a "bossy" woman. Clearly never benefited from a strong woman in his life. But...I would happily volunteer to be cameraman for a channel called "Just Joe" 😆 (if I were on that side of the world)

Question ... How are you ever going to get at the wiring in the ceiling, if you ever need to? I'm sure you are aware, that on other Narrowboats, they have an accessible panel running down the middle. That being said, you are progressing at a fine pace. Much Respect Jessiah

Here's a question, how far behind are the vlogs from now? It's coming along nicely though. I am glad you decided to bring the solar cables through their own dedicated hole. Keep up the good work!

How do you do your editing, on a pc or Mac lap top or stand alone. What software are you using.?

An even better quality is a husband who does what he's told🤣

Are you using 5mm on the ceiling??

Your be cleaning them white tiles for ever lol i did black so i couldnt see the mess lol

Good day, why not call your boat Danjo

i dont care were you from - everyone has one of those placemats with the roads on it huh

You need to raise your stove up off the floor to make an air gap between the wooden floor and the heater base. . I hate to say you really need looki and learn before some very dangerous situations concerning your safety are going to arise. This is a comment. purely thinking of your personal safety. . . Rules are there, which really should be followed where fire and lot of dry timber are in close proximity. Regards JR

Hi Danni (Boss) and Joe, Have you done a extractor hole for where the loo is going or did I miss it

So guys, are you prepared to remove the whole ceiling when you get wiring problems?

She’s a bit bossy! I’m gonna stay subscribed cos I like seeing Joe suffer!

spinoffs are all teh rage these daysso you both might as well have one. I know ill be plenty informed on Joes spin off and in dannies im not sure what ill learn but i have a feeling id get a lot of luaghs

:)

#0 You are becoming skilled workmen. #1 Even if it is a pain to paint you still have some more to do? #2 If one is busy someone else must be bossy?

Why is every thing white are u going to have some colour in there

Hi I’ve got a 3’ x 12” piece of marble if you’re interested I live in Warminster let us know all the best enjoy your video from Terry

A bossy woman, never🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

👍👌🇨🇦❤
